Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger further inflammation of the tonsils.
