Question
The baby girl is four months old and has a sore throat, slight cough, slightly elevated body temperature, and is not very lively. How should I handle the situation of tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
When treating tonsillitis in a four-month-old infant, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications and complement them with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection medications. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If the baby continues to have a fever, oral antipyretic medication should be administered. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment should be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain clean eating habits and ensure adequate rest.
