Question
Dear Baby, just 2 months old, has just started saying her throat is sore, and it’s accompanied by a slight cough. Now, she has a persistent fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should a child with a sore throat be treated?
Answer
Firstly, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, some regional treatments can be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can help consolidate the treatment effect. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever that doesn’t subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to improve immunity and prevent recurrence.
