Patient's question:
2.5-year-old child frequently suffers from tonsillitis and pharyngitis, causing fever.Doctor's answer:
The tonsil is located on the pharyngeal wall of the oropharynx, between the palatoglossal arch and the palatopharyngeal arch, commonly known as the tonsil. This structure is most developed during childhood and gradually atrophies in adulthood. Due to its strategic location at the throat and its close connection with the external environment, the temperature and humidity inside the tonsil are highly conducive to bacterial growth. Therefore, when the body's resistance is weakened, it is easily attacked by bacteria and becomes inflamed.
