Question
A 6-year-old boy initially experienced a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and low spirits with a bit of fever. How should one effectively treat a child’s sore throat and low fever?
Answer
Treatment should first involve symptomatic medications (symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication) based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. For those with low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life, and mainly consume liquid foods during treatment.
