Question
A one-year-old child has been ill for six days, with initial fever reaching up to 39.5 degrees Celsius, and stopped having fever after the third day. The doctor has prescribed cephalosporin antibiotics and a sore throat lozenge, but the throat remains red and swollen.
Answer
Measles pharyngitis is caused by a viral infection and has been treated with anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications. The throat mucosa is still red and swollen. If there is no longer fever or pain, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, eat more fruits, and avoid spicy foods. The condition should improve within a few days.
