Question

Dear parents, my son is just over 1 month old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water, and his voice became hoarse when speaking. He also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and crying for the best effect?

Answer

For treatment, you can first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. You can also use regional medications, such as sore throat pus pocket irrigation, injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. You can also give the child some painkillers based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate pain. If the child has a fever, they can take some antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the drug treatment is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child and strengthen nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
