What should I do if my child has a fever and a sore throat?

Patient's question:

Already have a fever of 38.3°C, sore throat, and the temperature has been lowered to 37.2-37.5°C after intravenous infusion. In the morning, it dropped significantly, but now the sore throat is no longer itchy, though the temperature hasn't come down. It has been six or seven days already, and the blood test was done yesterday. The blood test results indicate only a viral cold. Currently, I am taking Shufeng Qutu capsules and Compound Aminophenylbutazone tablets. How can I recover quickly? Is my current condition contagious to children under the age of 18?

Doctor's answer:

From the current body temperature situation, it seems there is still a bit of high fever, which suggests that the viral infection has not fully recovered yet. It is recommended to take medication while also using antiviral drugs. Try to minimize contact time with the child as much as possible to avoid infection. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child has a fever and a sore throat?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
