Question
A 2-month-old female infant is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat the child’s painful tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for this condition involves administering appropriate antibiotic therapy to the child, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intralesional injections. In cases of severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered to relieve discomfort. If fever persists, antipyretic medication or immediate medical attention should be sought. If the treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
