Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of reducing body temperature should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
