Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, started by saying his throat hurts. He noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Persistent fever in children should be promptly treated with antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C.In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
