Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his cough is quite severe. He has also had a slight fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat my child's sore throat with inflammation and crying?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local flushing or topical sprays can also be applied, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent worsening of symptoms due to catching a cold.
