Question
The baby has tonsillitis, with runny nose and mucus streaks, possibly with milk residue on the lips, excessive saliva, and difficulty in drinking milk. After receiving a shot and taking medication for three days, there is still no improvement. Can the baby take a bath just after being discharged from the hospital?
Answer
Generally speaking, a baby with tonsillitis may require aggressive antibiotic treatment and it is recommended to appropriately use cefalosporin antibiotic granules. At the same time, attention should be given to a light diet to aid in the patient’s recovery. As for bathing, usually, a baby can take a bath just after being discharged from the hospital, but it is best to do so under medical guidance to ensure safety and hygiene.
