Question
The baby boy just turned 1 month old, has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and a fever. How should one treat red swelling in the child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be used as needed. Regional cleaning or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, can also be considered, with good therapeutic effects. If throat pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be used, and cooling measures should be taken based on the body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication treatment is not effective, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, also pay attention to providing the child with a reasonable diet and rest schedule to promote recovery from the disease.
