Question
My child experiences recurring purulent tonsillitis, which recurs within half a month after discontinuing medication. I am wondering whether it is necessary to remove the tonsils and how to reduce the frequency of illness.
Answer
For children with recurrent tonsillitis, surgical removal of the tonsils can be considered. Although the surgery may concern parents, it is a minor procedure that can effectively reduce the recurrence rate. Long-term use of antibiotics poses significant potential harm to the body, so it is important to understand what is best for the child and help them overcome their fears.
