Question
The baby was born a few days ago, and recently, it has been scratching its ears. What could be the reasons for the baby’s reddish tonsils?
Answer
When a baby has reddish tonsils, it is often due to a bacterial or viral infection. Treatment for tonsillitis usually involves the use of antibiotics to combat the infection. Simply using fever-reducing medication can only temporarily lower body temperature and does not cure the problem. It is recommended that parents take their child for a blood test to determine the cause of the infection and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. Additionally, in daily life, it is advisable to have the child drink plenty of water, pay attention to diet, and help the child recover quickly.
