Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. I noticed that his cough was quite severe, 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 effectively?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
