Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent future episodes.
