Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 8 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was noticed that he also had mild coughing and a slightly feverish condition with low spirits. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be given on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
