Question
A 9-month-old male baby is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and low-grade fever symptoms, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should it be effectively treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to select anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance, and regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used appropriately. In case of persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is necessary. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the condition persists, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene as well as adequate rest.
