Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She was also found to have a relatively severe cough, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first give symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. You can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections, which are quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
