Question
A seven-year-old boy has just started kindergarten and developed tonsillitis due to a cold, which has not improved after half a month. Currently, the boy’s dietary condition is poor, and his weight is gradually decreasing. How should one effectively treat the condition of frequent tonsillitis?
Answer
Based on the description, the boy is suffering from recurrent tonsillitis with enlarged tonsils that appear red. In such cases, tonsil surgery is a suitable option and can be considered for surgical treatment. The timing of the surgery is usually chosen during a non-acute inflammatory period. For patients with severe tonsillitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment, avoiding the blind use of advertised medications to prevent exacerbating the condition.
