Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that his cough seemed quite severe as well. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Persistent fever in the child should be treated with antipyretics; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
