Question
A 2-month-old boy has started experiencing a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a slight fever. How can you treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Common treatments for tonsillitis include antibiotic medications, as well as regional treatments such as irrigation, drug injections, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered, along with fever-reducing medications to alleviate the feverish symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence. If there are similar symptoms after the inflammation is controlled, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the condition.
