Question
My 8-month-old daughter has a sore throat, hoarse voice, accompanied by low fever. How should an infant with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil washing or drug injections. Painkillers can be given to relieve throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken for fever. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, consider surgical treatment. Meanwhile, pay attention to a light diet, supplement nutrition, and promote recovery.
