Question
A three-month-old girl is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and low-grade fever symptoms, tonsillitis , how should she be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication is typically prescribed, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, or laser therapy. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, antipyretics can be used as needed; however, if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, for children with recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may also be an option. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene as well as adequate rest.
