What Are The Symptom And Treatment For Tonsillitis?
Hi, My daughter has dark red lines on her tonsils,they look kind of like bloody veins. I have never noticed them before and am not sure if that is the way they always look - my sons both have consistent coloured tonsils. Should I have her checked out?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dark red lines on tonsils which seems to be due to inflammation of tonsils. need not to worry. I would suggest you to :
- Do warm saline gargles.
- Take anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil can be taken to relieve pain.
- You should take throat lozenges.
- Avoid spicy an sharp food substances and cold beverages.
Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should take antibiotic amoxicillin and antihistamine Levocetrizine for 3-4 days.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
