Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is also quite severe. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurring, so if there are similar cases, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Rest more and avoid fatigue.
