Question
A four-month-old girl is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For treating a baby’s tonsillitis accompanied by low fever, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the symptoms. While taking medication, regional therapy such as rinsing or direct application of medicine can be conducted to enhance the efficacy. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be considered. For fever management, antipyretic drugs can be given, but if high fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the baby frequently experiences severe acute tonsillitis or has complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the baby maintains a reasonable diet and sleep habits to promote recovery.
