How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated for the best effect?

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated for the best effect?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
