Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, slight fever, and a general feeling of discomfort. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
For the child’s symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment based on different conditions. Regional treatment can consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the primary symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms persist or do not resolve, medical consultation should be sought promptly. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, get adequate rest, and avoid fatigue.
