Question

Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 1 year old and has recently started showing symptoms of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a fever. I would like to know how to treat a child’s sore throat with fever.

Answer

The primary treatment approach is to administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, while also considering regional treatment measures such as medication rinses to enhance efficacy. When the child experiences significant throat pain, painkillers can be used in moderation. If the child continues to have a fever, fever-reducing medication or seeking professional medical treatment may be considered. For recurrent episodes of symptoms, surgical treatment may be an option. During the treatment period, it is essential to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure the child gets adequate rest.
