Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that, cough seems to be quite severe as well, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. 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. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
