Question
At what age does a newborn exhibit ear-tugging behavior, and is tonsillitis likely to resolve on its own?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have tonsillitis. It is recommended to start with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and antibiotics. If these are ineffective, it may be necessary to consider tonsillectomy surgery. A routine blood test is suggested to confirm whether there is a bacterial infection, and pediatric throat medications can be used in conjunction with antibiotics.
