Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low fever in young children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who have recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
