Question
The baby is only a few days old, and recently, for some unknown reason, the baby has been constantly scratching its ears. How should I handle the situation where my baby has tonsillitis and refuses to breastfeed?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that your baby’s situation may be due to an infection-induced tonsillitis. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a professional medical examination and treatment. Under the doctor’s guidance, appropriate antibiotics can be administered to treat the infection. Pay attention to your baby’s diet by providing light, easy-to-digest and absorbable food, and encourage your baby to drink plenty of water to help your baby recover quickly. If your baby’s condition does not improve or worsens, it is imperative to take your baby to the hospital for immediate medical consultation.
