Question
My child has had recurrent tonsillitis for the past two years, and each episode is accompanied by a high fever. What impact does this situation have on the child?
Answer
Based on your description, a 3-year-old boy experiencing frequent tonsillitis with fever is a common manifestation of acute tonsillitis. The main symptoms of acute tonsillitis include fever and sore throat, and treatment primarily involves anti-inflammatory therapy. The treatment period should last at least 5-7 days, and medication should not be discontinued prematurely to avoid recurrence. In reality, having tonsillitis is not horrible (scary), as long as symptoms are promptly identified and treated, the condition can be easily alleviated and recovered from.
