Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse. He also had a fever and seemed listless. How should I treat my child’s sore throat effectively?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under a doctor’s guidance. You can also complement the treatment with some local methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers may be appropriate. Additionally, if there is a fever, you can take antipyretic drugs. In case of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
