Question
An infant of 2 months old is experiencing sore throat and severe coughing, along with low-grade fever. How should one handle the high fever caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for infant tonsillitis should be tailored to the severity of the condition. For mild cases, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. For more severe situations, regional treatment methods can also be employed, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Additionally, pain relievers can help alleviate severe throat pain. If the infant continues to have a fever, fever-reducing medication should be administered, and immediate medical attention should be sought if necessary. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Ensuring the infant maintains a healthy diet and regular work and rest is beneficial for the recovery process.
