Question

A two-month-old male infant is experiencing swallowing pain, slight coughing, and symptoms of low fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should the diagnosis and treatment be conducted?

Answer

For treating pediatric tonsillitis, one can first consider administering anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment methods include tonsil crypt irrigation, drug injection, or laser therapy. If the pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. For fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. After recovery, encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
