Suggest Permanent Treatment For Repeating Tonsillitis Problem
My brother aged about 13 years, he is suffering from tonsillitis problem since 3 years previously by every month tonsillitis occurred but now-a-days after 3 months the tonsillitis problem occurs. by the local consultants the CEFSPAN-DS had been suggested and every time we use the same medicine. kindly suggest the permanent treatment by medicines because as per the importance of tonsils we do not want to remove it by surgery, and kindly prevention may also be recommended. Thanks

Hello
Looking upto the frequency of episodes of tonsillitis i would suggest is to go for a tonsillectomy...chronic tonsillitis not only leads to repeated episodes of sore throat but also effects the growth and concentration power.....more over what type of importance are you looking for tonsils. It is a lymphoid organ which has importance during early life i:e 4 to 12 years which is the age for lymphoid development. But if the organs which are made for body defence, becomes the reservoir of infection it is necessary to get rid of them....
