In addition to coming to see a pediatrician about your child’s tonsilitis or swollen tonsils, there are some supplemental things you can do to speed up their recovery. As with any other sickness or infection, it is essential that your child gets ample rest and drinks plenty of fluids, including water and warm liquids, such as herbal tea, broth, or warm water with honey. Other things that may help them deal with tonsilitis include making sure their rooms and livings spaces are humidified and free from substances or scents that could irritate their throat. For medical advice on helping relieve your child’s tonsilitis fast, we welcome you to call us or schedule an appointment through our website. One of our board-certified pediatricians at KidsHealth Pediatrics would be happy to provide you and your child with tonsilitis treatment and advice on how to help it go away as safely and quickly as possible!
