Does tonsillitis require removal in children?

Patient's question:

Daughter is 6 years old. This year, she has had multiple sudden fevers. Local doctors initially treated her for a cold but found no issues. In early July, she had another fever and was found to have tonsillitis. She received a 7-day intravenous drip treatment. On July 28, she had another fever of 39.5 degrees, and her tonsils became inflamed again. She is currently receiving an intravenous drip.

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to oral hygiene, use a sufficient amount of antibiotics for the whole body, and incise and drain if there is an abscess. Enhance the body's resistance. If there are repeated acute episodes, consider tonsillectomy after controlling the inflammation. Tonsillitis in children causes significant harm to the patient. It is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Daily exercise is appropriate, but attention should be paid to preventing "overheating" (excessive internal heat). We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
