Question
A baby boy just over 1 month old is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and high fever. How should one handle the child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, medication injections, or laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought promptly. Surgery is one of the options for treating recurrent tonsillitis. Parents should pay attention to this condition to seek medical services early, and they should also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
