Question
A three-month-old male infant is experiencing pain while swallowing, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever,tonsillitis-induced sore throat. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For sore throat caused by infant tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be considered to enhance efficacy, such as pus cavity irrigation or direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. Some children may have fever as well; in this case, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, immediate medical attention should be sought. If medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent episodes occur, consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
