How to Treat a Child’s Sore Throat?

Question

A 5-month-old boy has a sore throat that is painful even when drinking water, accompanied by coughing and a lack of energy. How should a child with a sore throat and fever be diagnosed and treated?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be used appropriately, combined with treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injections. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child, and fever can be treated with antipyretics. If the fever is high, it is recommended to seek medical attention. For recurrent inflammation, consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to a light diet and nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
