Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, initially had a slight sore throat. He noticed it was accompanied by mild coughing and a slight fever, and he wasn't feeling well. Question: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
First, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications to treat pediatric tonsillitis. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
