Question
A two-month-old male infant is suffering from tonsillitis with symptoms of a sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. How should this type of tonsillitis fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis usually involves antibiotic medications and may consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If fever is present, antipyretics can be taken, and medical attention should be sought early in case of high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
