5-Year-Old Child with Swollen Tonsils: What Medication Should Be Taken?

Question

What medication should a 5-year-old child take if they have swollen tonsils?

Answer

It could be tonsillitis causing the issue, and it requires hospital treatment with nebulizer inhalation therapy, intravenous administration of antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antivirals, and other symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. In daily life, avoid spicy, alcoholic, cold, and other irritating foods. If the condition does not improve, hospital treatment with tonsillectomy may be necessary.
