Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has high fever that won't go down. Question: How can pharyngitis caused by tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating symptoms by catching a cold.
