Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover quickly.
