Question
Dear Baby, she’s only 6 months old. Initially, she had a bit of pain in her throat, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat a child’s sore throat and fever for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered. For localized treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesics can be used. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be physically cooled, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
