Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing, noticed that his cough seemed more severe, and also seemed to have a persistent low-grade fever. Please ask: How should a child’s strep throat be treated effectively?
Answer
To treat a child’s strep throat, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also use regional treatments, such as washing the tonsil crypts or injecting medication into the tonsils. They can also provide painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-protected from colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
