Question
My child frequently experiences tonsillitis, colds, and fever, occurring every half month, and even intravenous medication is ineffective. How should we treat it? Are there any self-healing methods? We do not want to undergo surgery.
Answer
Based on your description and situation, it is likely chronic tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes infection. The repeated inflammation leads to a decrease in immunity, making medication treatment less effective. Suggestions: 1. Seek a detailed examination by an otolaryngologist. 2. Consider chronic tonsillectomy surgery. 3. If necessary, hospitalization for surgery treatment can be considered. In addition to treating the tonsillitis, it is recommended that the child pay attention to diet and maintain a good mood to enhance their constitution and speed up recovery.
