Question

Dear Parent, my son is just over 3 months old. He has started to have a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How can I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis effectively?

Answer

When treating such diseases, you can give the child some antibiotics that are suitable for the symptoms. Additionally, you can provide regional medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child primarily has a sore throat, it is recommended that parents give appropriate painkillers to relieve the discomfort. If the child has a slight fever, then cooling measures should be taken as needed. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For children with severe inflammatory conditions that recur frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure enough rest time for the child.
