Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He has started to have a sore throat recently, his voice is hoarse, and he has a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis with a sore throat?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with sensitive antibiotics. Regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. Appropriately using painkillers can help relieve the sore throat. If the child continues to have a fever, you can give him antipyretics or seek immediate medical attention. If the condition recurs and cannot be controlled, consider surgery as an option. After recovery, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
