Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with fever in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent them from catching a cold due to cold exposure, which may trigger the recurrence of tonsillitis.
