Doctor's answer:

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately.
