Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, cough is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be diagnosed and treated.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, as they can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
