Daughter is 10 years old, she had a sore throat last night, and the inhalation caused an allergic reaction.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pediatric tonsillitis is a common disease that tends to recur, causing the tonsils to gradually enlarge. It can also easily affect surrounding tissues and organs, such as causing rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and other complications. The treatment of tonsillitis mainly depends on the size of the tonsils and the frequency of recurrence.
1. If the tonsils are not large and have only been affected once, a full course of antibiotics for 7-10 days can completely cure the condition.
2. If tonsillitis frequently recurs and the tonsils continue to enlarge, the tonsils become a susceptible site for infection and can spread to surrounding areas, leading to complications. In such cases, surgical removal is necessary.
