Symptoms of pharyngitis in 10-year-old children

Many people think that only adults suffer from pharyngitis, but this is not true. Many children also suffer from pharyngitis due to bacterial infection. So, what symptoms will appear when a ten-year-old child suffers from pharyngitis? Today we will introduce them to you, and we hope that parents will provide timely treatment after they find that their children have this disease.

The symptoms of nasopharyngitis include dryness and discomfort in the nasopharynx, and sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, so patients cough frequently and are often accompanied by nausea. In severe cases, there are systemic or local symptoms such as hoarseness, sore throat, headache, dizziness, fatigue, indigestion, and low fever. Examination of the nasopharynx revealed chronic congestion, hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the mucosa, covered with secretions or dry crusts.

Nasopharyngitis is an acute inflammation of the entire nasopharyngeal mucosa, submucosal and lymphoid tissue, mainly occurring in the pharyngeal tonsils. In adults and older children, it often presents as prodromal symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection.

Infants and young children are seriously ill and often have high fever, convulsions, meningeal irritation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dehydration and other systemic poisoning symptoms. In adults and older children, local symptoms are obvious, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, dryness and pain in the nasopharynx, burning sensation, and foreign body sensation. Examination of the nasopharynx revealed acute congestion and edema of the mucosa, with a large amount of mucopurulent secretions attached, which could flow down along the posterior pharyngeal wall. The nasopharynx of infants and young children is not easy to see clearly, but due to pharyngeal secretions and severe nasal congestion, it may cause difficulty in sucking milk, prone to choking, usually breathing with the mouth open, and affect sleep. This disease can be felt in the upper neck lymph nodes swollen and tender.

1. You should also pay attention to your living or working environment, because an overly irritating environment, such as harmful gases and substances, will directly irritate the throat and is also one of the causes of pharyngitis.

2. In normal times, try not to speak loudly if possible, and do not often go to karaoke hysterically, as this will irritate the throat and make the pharyngitis problem more serious.

The above is an analysis of the symptoms of nasopharyngitis and how to care for it. I believe that after learning about the relevant knowledge about nasopharyngitis, everyone must actively go to a professional hospital to treat this disease in order to restore everyone's safety and health faster and better.
