Question
A 2-month-old infant is experiencing a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and fever with a lack of energy. How should tonsillitis in infants be treated?
Answer
Generally, treatment for tonsillitis in infants can include the use of antibiotics, regional medication sprays, or laser therapy. Painkillers may be administered to alleviate symptoms if necessary. If there is a fever, consider lowering the temperature. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, attention should be paid to providing light meals, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and promoting recovery.
