Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also seemed to have a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low fever in young children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. All these methods are quite effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
