Question

A six-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of having angina pharyngis with red swelling. How should it be treated?

Answer

To treat children’s angina pharyngis with red swelling, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the symptoms. Concurrently, regional treatments such as irrigation or direct medication can be employed to enhance efficacy. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If fever persists, timely administration of antipyretics is recommended; physical cooling methods can be adopted if the temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s advice. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, bring their child to a doctor early, and do a good job of prevention and health care in daily life.
