Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old. He used to have long-term tonsillitis and high fever. Every time he went to the hospital, he took medicine and got better, but he would get sick again after a short period of time. This year, he doesn't have long-term high fever, but sometimes it comes with high fever. Today, I checked and his tonsils are swollen again, a bit red, and there is a noticeable odor.Previous Treatment and Effects:
In the past, he always went to the hospital for anti-inflammatory injections and medication. After getting better, it didn't last long. Now, the medicine only reduces the redness but the swelling persists.
Desired Help:
What treatment can help prevent recurring episodes?
Doctor's answer:
6-year-old with recurrent tonsillitis, the tonsils will become fibrotic, and then recurrent fibrosis appears again, which is different from the original condition, meaning swelling. This swelling will never disappear with the resolution of inflammation and will often persist. It is recommended that the tonsils are an autoimmune, and each inflammation should be treated thoroughly to prevent bacteria from hiding in the tonsils, leading to recurrent inflammation. Iodine glycerin can be used to treat swollen tonsils. The above is advice on the question "How to deal with chronic tonsillitis in children," hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
