Question

A three-month-old baby is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever, tonsillitis, how should the diagnosis and treatment be carried out?

Answer

For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be prescribed based on the symptoms, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or even intratonsillar injection of appropriate medication, which are usually effective. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, a moderate dose of oral antipyretic can be administered. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s advice. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage the child in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
