Question
My child has had tonsillitis for nearly a month now, with a sensation of swelling in the throat, slight difficulty in swallowing, and frequent actions of coughing and clearing the throat. I kindly request the physician to provide professional insights.
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the swelling in the throat may be due to tonsillar hypertrophy. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it may lead to tonsillar hypertrophy. If it affects breathing, surgery should be considered. It is recommended to visit the hospital’s otolaryngology department for a physician’s assessment. In addition to timely treatment of tonsillitis, maintaining a positive attitude to enhance immunity and confidence in combating diseases, and focusing on diet and care, mainly with light food, avoiding stimulating and cold foods, is essential to effectively control tonsillitis.
