Question
A six-month-old baby is experiencing tonsillitis symptoms, including sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy. How should one effectively treat it?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis usually involves prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the baby has throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, antipyretics should be used. Physical cooling methods can be adopted if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also an option. During the treatment period, a light diet should be arranged, and nutritional supplements should be enhanced to promote a quick recovery.
