Patient's question:
My male child is 6 years old. At first, he said that swallowing something was painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
