Question
A boy, already 2 years old, at first, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a slight fever and lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
It is suggested that parents can choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance for their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered if the child’s throat pain is severe. If the child has a fever, it is recommended to take antipyretic medication. In serious cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is controlled, consider surgery to prevent recurrence. During treatment, mainly consume liquid foods and pay attention to a light diet.
