Question
Baby girl, 8 months old, has recently been experiencing throat and tonsil pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How should infant tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment can include the administration of anti-inflammatory medications, regional rinsing or spraying, and even the injection of medication into the tonsils. For those with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on body temperature. If the condition persists and recurs, surgical treatment may be an option. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
