Patient's question:
My male child, who is 4 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing. It was discovered that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. 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 irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
