Question
How can you address the frequent swelling of a child’s tonsils?
Answer
Based on your description, if the tonsillitis is severe, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause and receive appropriate medication. Additionally, when the child is sick, ensure they get plenty of rest, drink lots of water, and maintain good oral hygiene. During the course of antibiotic treatment, pay close attention to the child’s temperature and pulse changes. If fever persists without improvement, it may be necessary to adjust the dosage of medication or switch to other drugs. At the same time, you can relieve the child’s discomfort through physical cooling methods, such as using a damp cloth to apply heat on the head and armpits, or giving them a laxative to promote bowel movements and avoid constipation. To prevent recurrent illness, it is important to strengthen physical exercise and boost the child’s constitution and immunity.
