Question
The child, 6 years old, has been suffering from chronic tonsillitis with fever. Although medication has improved the condition, it often recurs. Recently, the tonsils have become swollen and inflamed again, accompanied by an unpleasant odor. The question is how to treat it to avoid recurrence.
Answer
If tonsillitis is not treated thoroughly, it may lead to enlargement and inflammation of the tonsils. Even after the inflammation subsides, swelling may persist. It is recommended to use iodine glycerin to treat the swollen tonsils and to treat each episode of inflammation thoroughly to prevent bacteria from breeding in the tonsils, leading to recurrent episodes.
