Question
A 5-year-old boy has a sore throat and hoarse voice, with a persistent high fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be chosen for treatment, as can laser therapy or medication irrigation for localized treatment. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the medication treatment is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, surgery may need to be considered. During the treatment, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
