Question
My son is 4 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. The choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take some fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
