Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing things, discovered that coughing is quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication should be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, take their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
