Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently they have been scratching their ears for some reason. I wonder if it's serious if a toddler's tonsils are enlarged?Doctor's answer:
In the case of pediatric tonsillitis, surgery is not necessary. This condition is primarily treated with medication, mainly using a variety of anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, some penicillin or cephalosporin drugs can be used for treatment. However, if there is recurrent tonsillar abscess formation and tonsillar hypertrophy, surgery may be considered to prevent complications such as nephritis.
