Question

An one-month-old female infant is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis with redness. How should treatment be conducted?

Answer

For the treatment of infant tonsillitis with redness, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under physician guidance to alleviate inflammation. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can also be considered. If the sore throat is severe, analgesics can be administered in appropriate amounts; for persistent fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. After recovery, encourage the infant to engage in moderate exercise and enhance immunity to prevent recurrence.
