Question

An 8-month-old baby is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever, which may indicate tonsillitis. What treatment should be considered?

Answer

Based on the baby’s symptoms, anti-inflammatory medication can be initially considered for symptomatic treatment. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the baby has severe throat pain, painkillers may be recommended. If the baby has a fever, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the episodes recur frequently, surgery may be necessary. Parents should pay attention to their baby’s health, seek medical attention promptly, and take preventive and health care measures.
