Question
A one-month-old male baby has a sore throat with slight coughing and a bit of fever. How should it be treated?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children can be treated with sensitive antibiotics, regional irrigation or spray, tonsil injections, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, pain medication can be given to alleviate the sore throat, and fever-reducing medicine can be used if a fever needs to be brought down. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of frequent recurrence, surgery may be considered after treatment, and attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, light diet, adequate rest, and avoiding fatigue.
