Question
A baby boy, just over 6 months old, has started experiencing pain when swallowing water, accompanied by coughing and low-grade fever. How should tonsillitis-related throat pain in infants be treated?
Answer
Current common treatment methods for tonsillitis include antibiotic therapy, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or regional injections, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Painkillers can be administered as needed. In cases of low-grade fever, it should be appropriately reduced; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently develops tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. It is recommended that parents take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
