Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt a little sore in his throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsil inflammation.
