Question
A three-month-old baby is experiencing throat pain, mild coughing, and low-grade fever symptoms, diagnosed with tonsillitis. How should this condition be effectively treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be administered to the baby. In terms of regional treatment, it is recommended to use laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. If the baby’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given in appropriate amounts. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. If a baby experiences multiple episodes of acute severe tonsillitis or has complications, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the baby warm and avoiding catching a cold to prevent tonsillitis from recurring.
