Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and coughed more severely. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish. Question: How should pharyngitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
