Question
A baby boy, just over one month old, has started to feel a sore throat and is unable to drink water, along with a slight cough. He now also has a persistent high fever. What is the best treatment for a child’s sore throat and low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with local treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injection drugs. You can also choose coolingmethods based on body temperature; physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
