Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with low fever in young children be treated.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 taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given to children depending on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
