Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, notices it, cough seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can pharyngitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. 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 schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
