Question
The baby boy is just over 6 months old. He has recently started to complain of throat pain when speaking and has noticed difficulty swallowing. Moreover, he now has a persistent high fever. How can effective treatment be administered for infant tonsillitis and throat pain?
Answer
Appropriate administration of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with systemic treatment. Regional treatment options can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including pus cavity irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. In necessary cases, such as when the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be given. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child well-warmed to prevent catching a cold or the recurrence of tonsillitis.
