Question
An eight-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis accompanied by fever, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a physician to effectively alleviate inflammation. At the same time, regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils can be adopted to enhance efficacy. If the pain is severe, analgesics can be administered in appropriate amounts. For fever, antipyretics can be used as needed, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the condition continues, surgery can be considered after inflammation is controlled. After recovery, encourage children to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
