Question
Dear parents, our son is just over a month old. He first felt a sore throat, and his voice became hoarse. He also had a fever and seemed listless. How should we treat his sore throat caused by tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
The treatment for a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis includes symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal drug injection, and the consideration of painkillers. If symptoms are severe, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In serious cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, which may require surgery. Moreover, parents should pay attention to their child’s diet and lifestyle habits to aid in recovery.
