Patient's question:
My child just started kindergarten and got infected with a cold, which led to tonsillitis. It's been half a month and it hasn't improved much. Now, the child isn't eating well and is getting thinner by the day. I really feel heartbroken. Could you please advise on how to treat frequent tonsillitis effectively?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, 7 years old, male, recurrent tonsillitis, with enlarged and red tonsils, can you have surgery? Recurrent tonsillitis is an indication for tonsillectomy, and surgical treatment can be considered. The timing of surgery is generally determined during the non-acute inflammation period. For patients with severe tonsillitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or drugs for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Thank you.
