Question
The child has a fever of 38.5 degrees with a red and painful throat. They have previously been treated with a medicine patch. What kind of assistance is needed? The child doesn’t want to eat, what should we feed her?
Answer
Throat inflammation requires consideration of whether it is a simple inflammation, if there are other symptoms such as fever, throat pain, hoarseness, and regional redness and swelling, whether there is tonsillitis, and if the tonsils are swollen. If it is a simple inflammation, it can be treated as a common cold, with plenty of water and moderate use of cold medicine. If there are other symptoms, treatment should be based on whether it is a viral or bacterial infection, with antiviral or anti-infection treatment accordingly. For specific treatment plans, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
