Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can pharyngitis be treated effectively for infants and young children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
