Question
My baby has a fever with a sore and swollen throat. They often get throat inflammation when they have a fever, and I’m looking for advice on non-antibiotic anti-inflammatory medication.
Answer
It is recommended to use physical cooling (temperature reduction) methods when the fever is low, such as drinking plenty of water, urinating frequently to expel body heat, using warm water to wipe the body or taking a warm bath, and applying fever-reducing patches. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is important to go to the hospital promptly for a blood test and CRP check to determine the type of infection and receive targeted treatment. It is advised to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.
