Question
A 5-year-old boy claims to have a sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. How should this condition be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for the child to take anti-inflammatory medication, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication, appropriate pain relief and fever reduction. If the fever is above 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. Consider surgery for recurrent inflammation, and ensure the child gets ample rest and consumes enough fruits and vegetables.
