Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe, and it seems like her low fever hasn’t subsided. What should I do if my child has a sore throat and a low fever?
Answer
It is suggested that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, administer appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications to the child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments, such as tonsil washing or injection medications, can also be considered. Painkillers can be used for children with throat pain, and oral fever-reducing medications can be taken if the fever persists. Surgery is also an option for children with recurrent episodes, and attention should be paid to diet, hygiene, and adequate rest during the treatment period.
