Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
