How Can Chronic Tonsillitis Be Treated?

Chronic tonsillitis- requires surgery
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and the uploaded image. I understand your concerns that you are having tonsillitis.
As per your clinical details and the image, it appears to be chronic tonsillitis ( 4-5 months).
In my opinion, Chronic tonsillitis should be manged with surgery, medications will not help.
Chronic tonsillitis can lead to complications like peritonsillar abscess, snoring with sleep apnea and rheumatic fever, eusthacian tube dysfunction( ear blockage).
Hence, kindly go ahead with the surgery.
Mean time, continue salt water gargling, avoid chilled products ( curd/ ice creams), avoid frequent cold episodes.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
