Question
Sometimes children get fever every month, and each fever episode is accompanied by a sore throat. Why is that? What should we do to prevent it?
Answer
Fever can be caused by various reasons, including bacterial or viral infections, catching a cold, etc. When the fever temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, basic treatment can be done by drinking plenty of water. If the temperature exceeds this value, active use of fever-reducing medication and physical cooling measures are needed. At the same time, this situation may indicate that the child’s immune system is weak. It is recommended to consume honey and royal jelly, and to increase intake of vegetables and fruits to enhance resistance.
