Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it was painful to swallow things. It was found that his cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can a sore throat in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
