Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was found to be accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the drug treatment is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
