Question
A 28-year-old female patient with a history of good health has recently been experiencing throat pain for about four to five days. A local hospital diagnosed her with acute tonsillitis, and purulent pockets have formed on both sides of her throat. The doctor informed her today that a tonsillectomy surgery is required.
Answer
If the tonsils frequently become inflamed and are accompanied by complications such as arthritis and nephritis, then a tonsillectomy may be necessary. Post-surgery, the patient is expected to stay in the hospital for about 5 days. For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended that patients seek specialist consultation promptly and receive treatment under the doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is advisable to drink plenty of water, pay attention to diet, and wish for an early recovery for the child.
