Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and a slight fever with low energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. 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 pain-relieving medication can be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be administered. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.Besides these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor's guidance. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
