Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis in infants and young children be treated for sore throat?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has a severe sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
