Question
The baby girl is just 4 months old and is experiencing symptoms such as throat pain when drinking water, severe coughing, and persistent low fever. How should we diagnose and treat the red swelling of infant tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered for regional treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection, and laser therapy. When the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given to alleviate the pain. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to medication treatment, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can discuss the option of surgical treatment with the doctor. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to diet and hygiene as well as sufficient rest time.
