Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Hello, tonsillitis in children is generally caused by weather changes, large temperature differences, and catching a chill, which lead to upper respiratory tract infections. Symptoms may include recurring fever, cough, phlegm production, and a dry throat. Anti-inflammatory medications such as Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid, Xiao'er Yanbian Granules, or Cefalexin Granules can be used to control the inflammation, along with fever-reducing medications such as Paracetamol Suspension for treatment. If the child also has a cough, cough-suppressing medications such as Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution may be given to help alleviate coughing and expel phlegm. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant day.
