Question
What could be the causes of swollen tonsils in a 4-year-old child? What treatment methods are available?
Answer
Swollen tonsils are a condition where the pharyngeal tonsils become abnormally swollen, often due to bacterial infection. Treatment should be initiated as soon as possible, which may involve the use of traditional Chinese medicine for opsonize or even surgical removal of the tonsils. It is recommended that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes sufficient fluids.
