Question

My son, just over 9 months old, has a sore throat, accompanied by coughing, and is running a low fever. How should he be treated?

Answer

For a child with tonsillitis and swelling, appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered, along with local treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injections. For throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and for persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek medical attention promptly. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be an option. During the treatment period, pay attention to staying warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms due to colds.
