Question

Baby girl, just 3 months old, at first, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that she had a slight cough, and she’s been running a low-grade fever. How should I treat her sore throat and high fever?

Answer

You can give her some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to consolidate the treatment effect. You can also give her some painkillers based on her condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, you can consider giving her some fever-reducing medicine. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. These are some commonly used treatment methods. But if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
