Question
A two-month-old female infant is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is typically recommended to use antibiotics for symptomatic treatment, which tends to be effective. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the child feels severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. When there is a persistent fever, parents should give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications have already occurred, it is advisable to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor in a timely manner, and take preventive and health care measures in daily life.
