Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. 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, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
