Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, and it was found that swallowing was a bit difficult. He also had a slight fever and seemed listless. How should children with tonsillitis and sore throat be treated for the best results?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered, especially if the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe. Some painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms, and children with fever can take antipyretic drugs. In serious cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
