Question
An 8-month-old male infant is suffering from tonsillitis, manifested by a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever. How should one effectively treat tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can be approached in various ways. Firstly, under the guidance of a physician, anti-inflammatory medications can be chosen. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections may be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. During persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
