Question
A four-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, mild cough, and persistent fever, suspected to have red swelling of tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of red swelling of tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be chosen under the guidance of a physician. Regional treatments may consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. When there is persistent fever, parents should give fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes vegetables and fruits.
