Question
An 8-month-old baby has pustules in the throat, leading to persistent fever. What should be done?
Answer
It is recommended to take oral or intravenous antibiotics and antiviral medications under a doctor’s guidance, and to provide symptomatic treatment, such as using azithromycin, virazole, and other medications. During the symptom relief period, consider taking traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as pediatric throat lozenges and silver and gold granules. It is also important to avoid cold and spicy foods and to drink plenty of water.
