Question
My child has been born just a few days ago and recently keeps scratching their ears for no apparent reason. What is the cause of tonsillitis?
Answer
Chronic tonsillitis can easily lead to lower respiratory tract infections. Chronic tonsillitis often develops from recurrent acute tonsillitis or due to poor drainage of tonsillar crypts, leading to bacterial and viral proliferation and infection. These accumulated bacteria continuously secrete toxins and spread throughout the body through the vascular network around the adenoids. It is recommended to remove the adenoid tonsils. Pediatric tonsillitis can pose significant harm to patients, so it is advisable for patients to seek timely consultation with a specialist and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is appropriate to engage in moderate exercise, but be cautious to prevent overheating. We hope the child can recover quickly!
