Question
The baby boy just turned 2 months old when he started feeling a sore throat, along with severe coughing and persistent high fever. How should a swollen throat in children with strep throat be treated to achieve better effectiveness?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be administered along with regional drug spraying or laser therapy. For those with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the fever is severe, appropriate fever-reducing methods should be chosen based on the body temperature. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. Moreover, parents should ensure warmth to prevent the child from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
