How should one treat and diagnose chronic tonsillitis?

Patient's question:

Our child was born prematurely and has always had a weak constitution. In kindergarten, they are particularly prone to catching colds, which leads to recurrent tonsillitis. We are concerned about the impact this has on their health. Could you please advise on how to properly diagnose and treat chronic tonsillitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. If a child has tonsillitis, it is related to catching a cold due to cold exposure. It is best to receive intravenous fluid treatment for inflammation. It is recommended to pay attention to preventing cold exposure to avoid catching a cold and to enhance immunity. Penicillin can be used for active treatment. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. When patients face the problem of tonsillitis, we should actively carry out examinations and treatments and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If tonsillitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch treatment plans.
