Suggest Treatment For Choking And Swelling On Tonsil
My sons tonsils have bee enlarged for a while, and now they are so swollen they are almost touching. My daughter had to have hers removed when she was three(my son is 2). I am making an appointment with my ent. Is there anything I can give him(clarion, or advil) to help relive some of the swelling and ease his chocking and gagging fits?
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.

Suggest Treatment For Choking And Swelling On Tonsil
Hi...you can give Paracetamol or Ibuprofen at the appropriate dose. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
