Question
The baby has had a sore throat for half a month and it hasn’t improved, along with symptoms of tonsillitis and coughing. The child has a severe cough, with phlegm but cannot cough it out, with a body temperature of 37.20 degrees. What’s going on with the child’s sore throat that has lasted half a month?
Answer
The baby has been running a fever for a while, and it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for blood tests to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment. It is important to regularly measure the temperature and closely observe any changes in the baby’s temperature. When the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, take fever-reducing medicine promptly, drink plenty of water, and use a warm towel to compress the head or wipe the body, while paying attention to the baby’s mental state. In addition to medication for treating tonsillitis, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as eating light meals in daily life and spending more time outdoors. At the same time, patients should choose a professional hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
