Suggest Remedy For Sore Throat And Orange Tongue

Hi there,My 5 year old has an orange tongue and very swollen tonsils with one side that has red veins. She always snores, sleeps in funny positions and appears to suffer from sleep apnea. She is constantly getting colds and sore throats and says she has trouble swallowing often. I am concerned about the orange tongue and red veins on her tonsils.Thank you.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read you history carefully and appreciate your concern for your daughter.
I think your daughter is suffering from recurrent tonsillitis due viral or bacterial infection. You need to start antibiotics like amoxyclav or azithromycin. You should have her do warm salt water gargle if it is possible for her.
Tonsils may also need to be removed if tonsillitis is recurrent or they are really enlarged and obstructing breathing.
It is recommended to consult an ENT surgeon for this.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Thanks for using HCM. Take care.
