Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Also, it seems like she hasn't had a fever for a while. Please ask: How can we effectively treat pharyngitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can also be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
