Question

A premature child, due to a weak constitution, is prone to catching colds at kindergarten, leading to frequent tonsillitis. The parents are worried about the long-term impact on the child’s health and are asking: Can tonsillitis be effectively treated?

Answer

Tonsillitis is a common issue in children and can usually be controlled through appropriate treatment. For the situation you described, it is recommended to take medication such as anti-inflammatory and anti-infection drugs to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, throat lozenges can be considered to relieve discomfort. If there is a suspicion of streptococcal infection, further examination and corresponding treatment should be conducted. During the treatment period, the child’s diet and care are also important; ensure adequate vitamin intake, avoid stimulating food, and maintain a light diet to promote recovery. In summary, tonsillitis can be treated, but a treatment plan should be tailored to the specific situation.
