Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have a more severe cough. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed listless. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
