Question
A boy, already 4 years old, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a slight fever and seemed lackluster. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
When treating such conditions, it is recommended to give the child symptomatic antibiotic medications. For localized treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers may be appropriate based on the situation. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly; for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. It is also important to maintain a light diet habit during this time, focusing on liquid foods for consumption.
