Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a low fever. Question: How should pharyngitis with fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. In daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the main focus during treatment.
