Question

Over the past two years, a child has experienced recurrent tonsillitis, with each episode accompanied by high fever. Parents are worried that this condition may have long-term effects on the child’s health. How should one effectively treat tonsillitis?

Answer

Based on your description of the symptoms, an initial diagnosis may be pharyngitis. Inflammation in the throat area can lead to irritating sore throat and fever. It is recommended to seek a professional diagnosis from an otorhinolaryngologist. Treatment mainly focuses on antibiotics and throat relief. In daily life, avoid consuming spicy and irritating foods and alcohol, and drink plenty of warm water. Patients with tonsillitis should not only actively seek treatment but also develop good eating habits to supplement the body’s required nutrients. Thank you!
