Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
