Question

A two-month-old infant is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, severe cough, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?

Answer

For a child with tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms. If the condition is more severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given as necessary. During fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and if symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. If there are recurrent attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should pay attention to this disease, bring their child to the doctor in a timely manner, and do a good job of prevention and health care in daily life.
