How to deal with a two-year-old child's sore throat and hoarse voice

Patient's question:

Medical Description: On June 3, 2010, she started kindergarten and was very unhappy, which led to laryngitis and hoarseness. She received injections and medication at the community health center, but it had no effect. She then went to Xiangya Affiliated Third Hospital and Renmin Hospital, but the medication still didn't work. Treatment history and effectiveness: There has been no improvement at all. What help is desired: She hopes to find a doctor who can treat her laryngitis and allow her to go back to school soon.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child's fever may be pneumonia. If pneumonia is not treated thoroughly, it can lead to repeated fever in children. In severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous treatment may be required. The course of treatment for Mycoplasma pneumonia is approximately 10-15 days, and it can only be stopped after all indicators return to normal and the condition is completely cured. Unexplained medication can only delay the condition and lead to repeated infections.
Moreover, you can go to the hospital for a blood test and chest X-ray to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Drink plenty of water and avoid catching colds or exposure to wind. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used, such as honeysuckle, platycodon root, licorice, tangerine peel, pennywort, ophiopogon root, green plum, and Fritillaria cirrhosa. Boil the herbs in an appropriate amount of water and decoct the herbal soup. Take it in divided doses and continue the treatment. Avoid spicy and hard foods.
