Question
A three-month-old female infant is suffering from tonsillitis with red swelling, presenting symptoms of throat pain, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever. How should this type of tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for red swelling in tonsillitis typically involves following the doctor’s prescription for anti-inflammatory medications and may include regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, a small amount of fever-reducing medicine can be given, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, after controlling the illness, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
