Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can pharyngitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention is necessary. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
