Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, and he also had a slight fever and seemed less energetic. How should we treat children’s tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
For treatment, first, provide symptomatic antibiotics based on the child’s symptoms. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be considered, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils. These treatments are all effective. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
