Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well. Also, it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low fever in infants be treated for the best effect?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately with fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
