Question
The child was born a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, the child has been constantly scratching their ears. How should I solve the problem of a sore throat and fever in children?
Answer
If it’s acute tonsillitis, if the child is not allergic to penicillin, then cephalosporin antibiotics may be used for treatment; if allergic to penicillin, then azithromycin or clarithromycin intravenous drip treatment is recommended, and a fever of 39 degrees must be treated with bupleurum decoction to reduce fever. It might be related to vocal cord edema. It is suggested to take oral anti-inflammatory medication, oral amoxicillin, various vitamins, and treat accordingly. Drink plenty of water.
