Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, mild cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of having angina pharyngis with red swelling. How should treatment be conducted to achieve good results?
Answer
The treatment for children’s angina pharyngis with red swelling primarily involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the condition. Regional treatments can also be administered to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be administered. During a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medications can be considered. If the child frequently experiences such situations, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrent attacks. Pay attention to a light diet during this time, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
