Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had a sore throat. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, it seemed like he had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, parents may consider administering pain relievers as needed. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
