Question
A nine-month-old male baby is experiencing severe sore throat, pharyngitis, persistent cough, and low-grade fever. How should one treat the child’s tonsillitis and low fever for better effectiveness?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used for treatment, combined with systemic and regional treatment methods such as pus pocket irrigation and regional injections in the tonsil area. If throat pain is the main symptom, oral pain relievers can be considered to alleviate symptoms. If there is a persistent fever, fever-reducing drugs can be considered. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to supplementing nutrition, eating a light diet, getting enough rest, and avoiding fatigue during treatment.
