Question
A child has had a low fever for three days with throat inflammation. After hospital tests, the blood routine results are not high. The doctor recommends against intravenous injections. Should the focus be solely on medication or should intravenous treatment be considered?
Answer
If the blood routine results are normal, it might be advisable to discontinue all antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs and continue to monitor the temperature. It is suggested to give the child a small dose of ibuprofen and continue with anti-inflammatory medication. If there are only fever symptoms, there is no need to worry too much. Cephalosporin antibiotics can be given, and a menthol mouthwash can be sprayed into the baby’s mouth to help soothe the throat and make the baby feel more comfortable. These suggestions may help address the question of how to treat ‘pediatric high fever and throat inflammation’. I hope this is helpful to you, and I wish you good health.
