A member asked:
Many tonsillitis episodes can bring to chronic tonsils disease? and what about consequences? i'm very bored i'm always sick! :-( help me please
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilmente: Recurrent tonsillitis can lead to scarring in the tonsils so that they are unable to protect themselves. Chronic infection can lead to fatigue and malaise (my interpretation of your saying, "i'm bored.") and possible autoimmune disorders. Treatment is usually tonsillectomy when repeated cycles of antibiotics prove ineffective. See your doctor for referral to ENT specialist.
