Question
A 10-year-old boy has a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever while attending elementary school. How should one treat a child’s sore throat and low fever?
Answer
To treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, as well as regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered; for fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medicine can be taken. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. After the condition is controlled, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to trigger another episode of tonsillitis.
