Question
Male, 4 years old, recently had a cold with fever, persistent cough, and runny nose, with fluctuating symptoms. What should I do when the child has a sore throat and cough?
Answer
If the body temperature is below 37.5 degrees and within 38.5 degrees, physical cooling should be done by adding appropriate clothing and taking a warm bath. If there is phlegm, oral antibiotics such as Amoxicillin should be taken. Eating fruit alone is not effective. Monitor body temperature closely. Treatment methods vary depending on the patient’s condition, and it is recommended to seek medical attention for detailed examination as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment.
