Question
A 5-month-old male baby is experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and feverish discomfort. How should the tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for symptomatic relief, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct drug injection may be considered to enhance efficacy. If there is an exacerbation of throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling(cooling) can be performed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and after controlling the inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the treatment, seek medical attention early, and pay attention to preventive and health care work.
