Question
What factors or causes can lead to a sore throat?
Answer
A sore throat may be caused by a cold. Based on the description, an initial judgment might suggest it’s due to a cold. Generally, it’s important to consult a doctor to determine whether it’s caused by a viral or bacterial infection. If it’s viral, there is no specific medication, but you can take ribavirin capsules or children’s paracetamol amine capsules for treatment, and take good care of the child to alleviate symptoms. Typically, after 7 to 10 days of rest and care, the common cold will resolve. If it’s caused by bacteria, antibiotic anti-inflammatory medication should be taken under a doctor’s guidance. As for the sore throat you mentioned, we suggest buying some maxims hawthorn seeds to brew water and drink.
