Question
Are there any methods to deal with the situation where a school-age child has tonsil enlargement, fever, and antibiotic treatment is ineffective?
Answer
Currently, for cases of tonsillitis that do not respond to antibiotic treatment, surgical removal of the tonsils is a common treatment method. However, the indications for surgery should be reasonably controlled, and the potential risks and complications of the surgery should be understood. Before deciding on surgery, it is important to seek advice from a specialist physician and determine whether the inflammation has progressed to an irreversible stage. For these patients, preventive measures in daily life, such as avoiding heat, can also help alleviate symptoms and promote recovery.
