Question
The newborn has a sore throat and fever, with recent ear-tugging behavior. What treatment methods should be used?
Answer
A sore throat and fever in a baby may be due to a respiratory infection. Treatment should involve the use of fever-reducing medication and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, along with ensuring adequate fluid intake and a diet of soft foods. If symptoms of sleep apnea syndrome are present, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible to avoid potential sudden death risks.
