Question
A baby boy, just over 1 month old, feels a sore throat when talking and has a severe cough. Now he has a persistent fever. How should one treat a child’s sore throat, cough, and high fever?
Answer
The main method for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture to treat with sensitive drugs. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be used. For children with obvious throat pain, analgesics can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
