Question
A 4-month-old male infant is experiencing throat pain, severe coughing, and slight fever. How should one handle the sore throat caused by infant tonsillitis?
Answer
If an infant has tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics for treatment. Regional therapy methods can include tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, and other medications. Additionally, if throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used. For mild fever, consider physical cooling(cooling), but if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, provide the infant with light and nutritious food to ensure adequate nutrition and promote recovery.
