Question
A kindergarten child developed tonsillitis after catching a cold, and the symptoms persisted for half a month without significant improvement, affecting the child’s diet and weight. How should we effectively address the issue of tonsillitis?
Answer
Tonsillitis is a non-specific inflammation of the palatine tonsils, which can be classified into acute and chronic forms. If acute tonsillitis is not properly treated, it may transform into chronic tonsillitis, leading to more severe conditions. For the treatment of chronic tonsillitis, it is not advisable to proceed blindly. It is recommended to visit a professional otolaryngology hospital for a detailed examination before formulating a treatment plan. While undergoing active treatment, patients with tonsillitis should also maintain a positive mood, which can have a positive impact on the recovery from the disease.
