Question
My daughter is just 4 months old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing. Upon inspection, I noticed she has a more severe cough and a bit of fever as well. How should I treat her sore throat and fever?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation can be considered. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child has a slight fever, then appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For children with frequent acute severe attacks or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after two weeks of acute inflammation subsiding. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining good diet and hygiene, as well as ensuring sufficient rest time.
