Question
A three-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and symptoms of low fever, tonsillitis . How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
The initial treatment for tonsillitis should involve administering appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be given to alleviate discomfort. For low fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken as necessary, and immediate medical attention should be sought if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences such situations, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes to prevent recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage the child in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
