Question
Our child is experiencing recurrent tonsillitis, and the doctor has recommended surgery to remove the tonsils, but our parents are against it. How can we manage the symptoms of tonsillitis?
Answer
This condition is usually caused by an infection leading to the enlargement of the tonsils, commonly due to bacterial or viral infections. It is advised to maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy or stimulating foods. A routine blood test can be conducted, and consider intravenous treatment based on the treatment foundation as needed. The treatment for tonsillitis varies depending on the patient’s condition and requires a quick diagnosis for symptomatic treatment.
