Question
A 9-year-old boy, initially, felt a sore throat while speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, and it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should children’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
It is suggested that parents should select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to administer to the child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection therapy are also good options. If the child experiences significant throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretics is recommended; for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
