How to treat swollen tonsils in children requires clarification of the cause of the enlargement to take the appropriate treatment plan. Enlarged tonsils in children can be treated by medication if they are caused by inflammation, such as tonsillitis, which can be treated by using antibacterial drugs, nebulized inhalation, and proprietary Chinese medicine.
