Question
Children often suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, which leads to symptoms such as pain, coughing, and sweating. What are better treatment options?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillectomy typically involves two common methods: the pressure-cutting method and the method under general anesthesia. The pressure-cutting method does not use anesthesia or only sprays a small amount of anesthetic on the surface of the throat, which may cause severe pain during the operation and could lead to a psychological barrier against medical treatment in children. If there is excessive bleeding during this surgery, it also increases the difficulty for doctors to manage. It is recommended that patients consult with a specialist as soon as possible and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment. In daily life, precautions should be taken to prevent heat-related issues, and it is hoped that the child can recover quickly.
