Question

My son is 4 years old, and he has a sore throat with a slight fever recently. How should I handle it?

Answer

Pediatric tonsillitis is usually treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatments such as rinses, injections, or laser therapy can also be considered. At the same time, you can give your child painkillers and fever-reducing medicine, and if the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly. To prevent recurrent episodes, consider surgery after the condition stabilizes. Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
