Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. Upon observation, it seems his cough is also quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Moreover, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
