Question
A 7-year-old boy has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should he be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, along with regional treatments to consolidate the effects. Painkillers can be considered for severe throat pain. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can consider using fever-reducing medications or taking the child to the hospital for immediate medical attention. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgery may be recommended. After the condition improves, it is suggested to increase the child’s physical activity to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
