Why do children always get tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

On May 27, 2011, I had a fever and was hospitalized for three days. The doctor's diagnosis was bronchopneumonia. There was no improvement, so I was hospitalized for two more weeks. The doctor said I could be discharged, but I still had a bit of bad breath. After going home, I kept using herbal remedies, but in the past two days, I've noticed the bad breath has worsened. Could it be that my tonsillitis has flared up again?
Past Treatment and Effects:
No specific help is expected: to completely cure the tonsillitis and eliminate the bad breath.

Doctor's answer:

tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils. in clinical diagnosis, it is divided into acute and chronic types, with main symptoms including sore throat, fever, and discomfort in the throat. based on your description, it is likely chronic tonsillitis. you can take appropriate anti-inflammatory medications to relieve symptoms, such as amoxicillin. in terms of diet, it is best to avoid foods like chili peppers, and also try to avoid exposure to smoke and dust. the above advice is for the question "a two-year-nine-month-old child has recurrent tonsillitis." i hope it helps you. wish you good health!
