Question
How long does it take to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is primarily a non-specific inflammation of the tonsils caused by a cold. Treatment for low-grade fever tonsillitis can include alcohol wipes on the neck and armpits, and patients should pay attention to resting, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding irritating food. It’s also recommended to brew some hawthorn or honeysuckle tea for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, consume liquid or semi-liquid foods rich in vitamins and proteins, always keep the mouth clean using salt water or boric acid mouthwash, and avoid spicy, sour, cold foods, oil, roasting, smoking, and drinking cold water.
