Question
A baby boy, just two months old, suddenly exhibits a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should one treat infant and toddler tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For treatment, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child’s symptoms, or regional treatments such as tonsil washing or internal injections of medication can be considered. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers may be given. If the child has a persistent fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medication can be taken, but if the fever does not subside, medical attention must be sought promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrence occurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
