Question
A 2-month-old baby girl has started experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent low fever. What should be done for her tonsillitis?
Answer
It is advised for parents to select suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments such as gargling or topical medication can help consolidate the treatment effect. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered; if fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the fever does not subside, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is a viable option for children who have recurrent episodes. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and do a good job of related prevention and health care work.
