Question
A two-month-old male infant is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, cough, fever, and low spirits, suffering from tonsillitis accompanied by low fever. How should it be treated?
Answer
The treatment for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis accompanied by low fever primarily involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms, and regional irrigation or spraying, or the injection of symptomatic drugs into the tonsils can also be considered, as these methods have good efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is low fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, immediate medical attention should be sought. Additionally, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
