What is the treatment for tonsillitis in kids?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My 16 years old daughter is suffering from tonsillitis on a regular basis. She was prescribed antibiotics recently. After a few weeks, it became sore and swollen again. For the past few years, my daughter has ragged tonsils with continuous tonsil stones, bad breath, and sore throat. She is struggling each time, and I am worried about her future health as it is a chronic condition. She is taking Ibuprofen and Paracetamol currently.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The tonsils are congested. The crypts are deep, and it is natural for her to get tonsil stones. If it is causing recurrent symptoms, you need to get the tonsils removed. They do not serve any purpose after 10 years, and it is safe to get removed.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
