Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seems that his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can give the child some antibiotics, which is quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatment can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsil. If the child mainly has symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents can give some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
