Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in children be diagnosed and treated if it is difficult to respond?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing drugs or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
