Question
The 3-year-old girl initially experienced pain in her throat when drinking water, and she has noticed more severe coughing and a slight fever. How should a child with a sore throat and fever be treated?
Answer
There are several treatment methods for a child’s sore throat and fever. Firstly, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication, and can also try regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medication. If the child’s throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered appropriately. If the child has a slight fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, please seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, during the treatment period, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help the child recover as soon as possible.
