Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he said his throat hurt, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. It seems like he’s had a low-grade fever all along. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be administered to alleviate the pain. For persistent fever, apply fever reducers promptly. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
