Patient's question:
My child is currently under 3 years old. Last year, a cold triggered tonsillitis. Although the cold was cured with medication, the tonsillitis did not improve. The child is in good spirits, without coughing or fever, but the tonsils remain red and swollen.Doctor's answer:
Currently, surgical removal of the tonsils remains the primary treatment method, but it is important to reasonably determine the indications to avoid arbitrary removal of tonsils, which may lead to a weakened respiratory immune function and impaired immune surveillance. Moreover, surgery is not absolutely safe and may sometimes result in postoperative complications such as dry throat, pain, and discomfort. Tonsillitis has a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that patients seek timely medical attention from a specialist and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. Daily activities can be appropriately resumed, but attention should be paid to preventing "internal heat" flare-ups. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
