Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. Is it necessary for a child with tonsillitis to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
In the case of pediatric tonsillitis, surgery is not necessary. This condition is primarily treated with medication, mainly using a variety of anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, some penicillin or cephalosporin drugs can be used for treatment. However, if there is recurrent tonsillar abscess formation and tonsillar hypertrophy, surgery may be considered to prevent complications such as nephritis.
