What Could Be The Solution For Either Granular Pharyngitis Or Holes In Tonsilities Which Are Not Exactly Diagnosed And Suffering With Severe Cough?
my son diagnosed with granular pharyngitis..anoither ENT specialist says there is minor holes in tosilities which need to be removed by surgery...while the first one says these holes already exist and surgery is done on very rare cases...this type of disease gets resolved by medicine..however my son is coughing seriously though coughing improved a bit by medicines of allergy advised by the first ENT doctor ..would be grateful for a better solution from your end

hello. holes are seen in all individuals, however when these become clogged/blocked they tend to cause recurrent infections leading to sore throat and fever. if your child has recurrent fever and is missing school, then it is advisable to get them removed. cough is generally unrelated to the tonsillitis and may be more of an allergy in your child as it is coming down with allergy medicines. thanks
