If a patient experiences tonsillitis too often (seven or more times a year), this may be a sign that it is time to remove the tonsils.

This was stated by the host and doctor Alexander Myasnikov as part of the program “About the Most Important Thing”.

As the specialist noted, the tonsils are a source of inflammation, so it is better to remove them in case of prolonged tonsillitis.

Usually, the symptoms of this disease are considered to be a sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, the tonsils turn red and are covered with a white coating. The disease is accompanied by a high temperature.

As the doctor stated, if bacterial tonsillitis is observed, then laboratory testing is necessary. Antibiotics may be prescribed.
