How to Treat Red Swelling of Pediatric Tonsillitis

If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be effective. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, some painkillers may be given. For those with low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought immediately. In cases of recurrent severe acute episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
