How should pharyngitis and fever in young children be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Boy, already 2 years old, at first, said his throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated for the best effect.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can give some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is suggested to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
