Patient's question:
The boy is 13 years old with enlarged tonsils. Whenever he has a stomachache, he gets a high fever. It gets better after taking medicine. Hello, do you have a better method for treatment? Past treatment history and effectiveness: He has been taking medicine or getting intravenous fluids, but they are still large. What kind of help do you need: Hello, is there anything you need? Method to cure it.Doctor's answer:
If the virus is the cause of tonsillitis, medication may not be necessary as the body has the ability to fight the virus. When tonsillitis becomes frequent and children experience breathing difficulties due to the infection, it is recommended to have the tonsils removed. However, this should only be considered as a last resort after all other treatments have failed, because the tonsils are a very important part of the human immune system. After the tonsillectomy, the child will never experience throat pain or breathing difficulties again, and the surgery will not leave any scars.The day before the surgery, the child should not eat or drink anything. The surgery itself is very short, lasting only about 20 minutes. Due to anesthesia, the child will not feel anything in their throat during the procedure. Tonsillectomies can be performed using electrocautery or grinding tools.
After the surgery, the child should drink plenty of fluids and eat soft foods. It usually takes about two weeks to fully recover from the surgery, after which the child can return to normal physical activities.
