Question
A baby boy, just over 2 months old, is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should one handle a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first choice is to administer symptomatic antibiotic medication. Consider regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or tonsil injection drugs to relieve throat pain, and use painkillers for fever reduction. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. For those who have recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered. Pay attention to both treatment and preventive measures, and seek medical care and attention for the child early on.
