Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may be combined. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic drugs or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
