Question
A 7-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever, suspected to have angina and a swollen throat. How should treatment be approached for optimal results?
Answer
For pediatric angina, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered initially, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications may also be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort; for fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In case of severe symptoms, timely medical attention is essential. For recurrent episodes of angina, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene, and adequate rest should be ensured.
