Question
My 5-year-old daughter is experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and has a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should I treat her tonsillitis with red swelling?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, antibiotics can be used, along with regional rinses or sprays for relief. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered, and fever-reducing medications can be used when there is a persistent fever. Tonsillitis may recur, so if symptoms are severe or frequent, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain warmth, avoid catching a cold, and prevent the condition from worsening.
