Question
A seven-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and low fever symptoms, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should it be diagnosed?
Answer
The treatment of tonsillitis can be guided by a doctor to select anti-inflammatory medications or regional therapies such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injections. If the infant has throat pain, consider giving a moderate amount of pain medication. For persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. For those with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest for the infant to aid in the early recovery from the illness.
