Question
My 8-year-old son started experiencing a sore throat while speaking, his voice became hoarse, and he also had a slight fever and appeared listless. How can I treat pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
Treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat include administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications, along with regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to reinforce the treatment. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be given as needed. For fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to medication, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent attacks. Moreover, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
