Patient's question:
Test results: 3 degrees on the right, 2 degrees on the left tonsil inflammation per hour. Currently, it doesn't hurt but is still swollen. What are the risks, and is it necessary to remove it?Doctor's answer:
This symptom is caused by chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy, which is often due to upper respiratory tract infections or acute tonsillitis. It is primarily caused by the long-term survival of streptococcus and staphylococcus in the tonsillar crypts. When the body's resistance is weakened, the condition may occur. Treatment focuses on enhancing physical exercise, improving physical fitness, and reducing disease resistance. To prevent recurrent episodes that may lead to inflammation of the heart, kidneys, joints, and other organs, surgical removal may be considered when necessary.
