Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He also noticed mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
