Question
My child often experiences tonsillitis, leading to hoarseness in their throat. Sometimes, despite not having a high fever or cough, their throat always produces a hoarse sound. In the past, after visiting the doctor and receiving treatment, symptoms improved after intravenous therapy. Now, I am worried about the hoarseness issue and would like to know the possible causes and how to help my child.
Answer
Based on the description provided, if the tonsillitis is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition. Meanwhile, during the illness, it is important to get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water, maintain oral hygiene, and closely monitor body temperature and pulse changes when using antibiotics. If the fever persists, consider reducing the dosage or switching medications. Additionally, during fever, physical cooling (physical cooling) should be performed to keep bowel movements regular and prevent recurrence of the condition. To prevent disease recurrence, it is necessary to pay attention to strengthening the body’s constitution and boosting immunity.
