Patient's question:
On February 5, 20141. Fever, highest temperature 39 degrees, with headache
2. Tonsils, both sides red and swollen with pus points
Doctor's answer:
The tonsils have immune effects within the age range of 0-12 years. Therefore, swelling indicates the presence of inflammation, and frequent recurrent high fever suggests that the immune function of the tonsils has been lost. Gradually, it transforms into chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus can survive long-term in the tonsillar crypts. When the body's resistance is low, the disease occurs. Treatment should first involve penicillin-class antibiotics, while also strengthening physical exercise to enhance the body's constitution and improve disease resistance. To prevent recurrent attacks from causing lesions in the heart, kidneys, joints, etc., surgical removal may be considered if necessary.
