Hi, I believe this is a kind of tonsillitis or sore throat that may take up to 14 days to be cured. Tonsillitis is caused by a viral or bacterial infection, at-home care strategies can make your child more comfortable and promote better recovery. If a virus is the expected cause of tonsillitis, these strategies are the only treatment. Your doctor won t prescribe antibiotics. Your child will likely be better within seven to 10 days. Provide adequate fluids, warm hot drinks , gargling salty water, and avoid irritants. Talk to your doctor about using ibuprofen (Advil, Children s Motrin, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) to minimize throat pain and control a fever. Low fevers without pain do not require treatment. Sometimes tonsillectomy is the best line of treatment that s when recurring tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis or bacterial tonsillitis that doesn t respond to antibiotic treatment. Frequent tonsillitis, more than seven episodes in one year, more than four to five episodes a year in each of the preceding two years. More than three episodes a year in each of the preceding three years. A tonsillectomy may also be performed if tonsillitis results in difficult-to-manage complications, such as: - Obstructive sleep apnea, breathing difficulty, swallowing difficulty, especially meats and other chunky foods. An abscess that doesn t improve with antibiotic treatment. Tonsillectomy is usually done as an outpatient procedure, unless your child is very young, has a complex medical condition or if complications arise during surgery. That means your child should be able to go home the day of the surgery. A complete recovery usually takes seven to 14 days.
