Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 7 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, and had severe coughing, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can pharyngitis in infants and young children be effectively treated when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
