tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

The boy is 6 years old. He has a serious appetite problem and a weak constitution. He has been checked at the women and children's hospital and there is nothing wrong with him, except that he often gets tonsillitis. A single injection doesn't last long and it recurs frequently.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment with Medication: The traditional method of treating acute tonsillitis with medication typically involves the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. The drawback of this localized treatment approach is that it only reduces inflammation but fails to eliminate bacteria from the tonsillar crypts. Once the body's resistance decreases, the condition is prone to recurring, and over time, it may develop into a chronic lesion.
