Question
Why does tonsillitis keep recurring even after receiving injections? How were past treatment methods and their effectiveness?
Answer
The reason for the recurrence of tonsillitis may be due to the oropharynx being easily susceptible to bacterial invasion, with these bacteria potentially coming from the external environment or lurking in the tonsillar crypts. Normally, tonsils have a complete surface epithelium and continuously secreting mucous glands that help expel bacteria. However, when an individual’s immune resistance decreases, bacterial invasion becomes stronger, and the tonsil’s defense mechanisms weaken, inflammation can occur. Past treatments may have included antibiotic medications and injections, but the effectiveness seems to be short-lived, with patients experiencing a recurrence of tonsillitis within a few days. Currently, it is necessary to find more effective treatment methods to address this issue.
