Question
My son is a 4-year-old boy. Recently, he has been experiencing pain when swallowing and drinking water, with a slightly hoarse voice. Accompanied by a low fever, how should this condition be effectively treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to effectively alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatment methods, such as tonsil irrigation or injection medications, can also be combined. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be used as necessary. Oral fever-reducing medication can be taken when there is a fever. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is advisable for the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
