Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 8 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
