Patient's question:
Hello, my child often gets tonsillitis. What should I do? The child is eight years old. The doctor said this tonsillitis is a bit related to the tonsils, because our child's tonsils are very sensitive, so they are very prone to inflammation. The doctor said it can be removed, should it be removed?Doctor's answer:
If a child frequently exhibits swollen and red tonsils, it is likely that they have chronic tonsillitis. This condition may be related to the child's inherent constitution or due to incomplete recovery from acute tonsillitis. During colds or when feeling cold, it can easily lead to acute recurrence. If the tonsil enlargement has already affected the child's breathing, or if there are frequent acute recurrences, surgical treatment is generally recommended.
