Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing things, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat a child's sore throat for relief?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
