Question
My son is 6 years old. Initially, he said he felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat my child’s strep throat and fever effectively?
Answer
If a child has a strep throat, symptomatic can be given anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including pus pocket irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery early on. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
