Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 6 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low-grade fever hadn't subsided. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in young children be diagnosed and treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. Pain relievers can be administered according to the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the suffering. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to doing well in related prevention and health care work during daily life.
