Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent fever. How should a child with a sore throat and fever be treated effectively?
Answer
If a child has a sore throat, initial treatment can include targeted antibiotic medications. For local therapy, options like laser treatment or medication irrigation are recommended. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In cases of repeated acute severe episodes or complications, it is advised to perform a tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this condition and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. It is also important to focus on prevention and health care in daily life.
