Question
The child is under 3 weeks old and developed tonsillitis due to a cold before the New Year. Although the cold has subsided, the tonsils are still red and swollen. The child is in good spirits and has no symptoms of coughing or fever.
Answer
At present, the primary treatment method is still surgical removal of the tonsils, but it is important to reasonably control the indications and avoid arbitrary tonsillectomy, which can lower the respiratory tract’s anti-infection immune function, leading to immune surveillance disorders. Moreover, surgery is not absolutely safe and can sometimes have complications such as dry throat, pain, and discomfort. It is recommended to seek consultation with a specialist and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is advisable to engage in moderate exercise and pay attention to preventing heat-related issues. It is hoped that the child can recover quickly!
