Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with low-grade fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
