Question

A 4-month-old baby may have contracted tonsillitis, experiencing sore throat and difficulty swallowing, along with persistent high fever. What should be the treatment approach?

Answer

Firstly, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with regional sprays or laser therapy. For children with obvious sore throat, appropriate painkillers should be administered. If fever symptoms are present, antipyretic medications should be used as needed. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, reasonable diet and rest habits should be arranged for the child to promote an early recovery from the disease.
