Question
What should I do if my child has been running a fever for four days with a sore throat and redness?
Answer
It might be tonsillitis, and immediate medical treatment is necessary, including nebulizer inhalation therapy, as well as injections of antibiotics, steroids, antihistamines, and antiviral drugs. Additionally, it is important to avoid spicy, cold, and other irritating foods. Since there are many causes of pediatric respiratory diseases, if the child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory disease, parents should immediately cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, and also perform gastrointestinal decompression while developing good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to avoid their child developing picky eating habits and ensure their diet is balanced.
