Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He was found to have difficulty swallowing, and it seemed like his low fever never subsided. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be administered. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
