Question
A baby boy, just over 4 months old, started to feel a sore throat when talking, accompanied by a slight cough and a low fever. How should a child’s crying strep throat be treated effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for treating strep throat and can be chosen appropriately. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils, can also be effective. In cases where the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the disease is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
