Question
A one-month-old infant is experiencing swallowing pain, severe coughing, and persistent low fever, suspected to be tonsillitis with red swelling. How should treatment be conducted to achieve good results?
Answer
For the treatment of red swelling in pediatric tonsillitis, the use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered, along with local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used; for persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be administered or immediate medical attention sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
