Question
An one-month-old female infant is experiencing a sore throat, hoarse voice, and persistent high fever. What should be the treatment for tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are typically an effective treatment for infant tonsillitis. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil medication injections can be used. If the infant has throat pain, analgesics can be administered. If the fever persists, appropriate antipyretics should be used; if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the infant repeatedly experiences tonsillar inflammation, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is recommended to provide the infant with a light diet and enhance nutrition to aid in a quick recovery.
