Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had a sore throat. It was found that he also had a mild cough, and at the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How is it effective to treat pharyngitis with high fever in young children.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. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If there is a fever, the method of reducing body temperature should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
