Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found, accompanied by mild cough, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling is suitable; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be used. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
