The treatment of tonsillitis usually depends on the type of infection that causes tonsillitis. If tonsillitis is caused by a viral infection, home treatment is usually all that is required. Drink plenty of liquids such as soup or tea to soothe the throat.
Gargling with salt water will also help to get rid of the infection. Medications such as Nimesulide and ibuprofen will help to minimize fever and pain. Remember to never give children under the age of 12 years aspirin, as it poses potential life-threatening consequences.
Medical Treatment
1. Tab Roxithromycin- 150 mg, 14tabs
1 tab BD 5 to 10 days 30 minutes before food(antibiotic) for infection
2. Tab Nemesulide- 100 mg 10 tabs (analgesic) for pain and swollen
1 tab BD or sos
3. sy- Betadine g (1)
2 tsf TDS garging for 5 days
severe tonilitis consult to surgeon or physician
For tonsillitis that is caused by a bacterial infection, the conventional medical treatment involves the use of antibiotics. For antibiotics to be effective, it is important to complete the entire treatment to avoid the risk of recurring infection. The normal course of antibiotics is 5 – 10 days. A tonsillectomy (surgical removal of tonsils) may be required in very severe cases of tonsillitis, if your child has more than seven episodes of tonsillitis in one year, if the swollen tonsils affect breathing or swallowing or if an abscess develops, then a tonsillectomy may be recommended.
