Question
How should one handle a child’s tonsillitis that occurs monthly, which has previously been treated with intravenous fluids, with each treatment lasting at least five days.
Answer
For patients with chronic tonsillitis, if non-surgical treatment is ineffective or if the tonsils become a focus of other organ diseases, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy surgery. If a child experiences inflammation once a month and has developed chronic recurrent tonsillitis, it is usually advisable to consider tonsillectomy surgery. It is suggested to take the child to a regular hospital’s otorhinolaryngology department for a specialized examination to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
