Hello Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Jigar(Infectious disease specialist). I can understand your apprehension. If i was your treating doctor i would have given you following advice. 1) As it is important to find cause of repeated throat infection culture of throat should be done whenever infection occurs. This will guide you wether it is bacterial infection or not. If it is not due bacteria then antibiotics will not help. And if it is bacterial infection then this test will tell you which organism is there and which antibiotic will work. 2) Along with this other causes of repeated infection should be ruled out like peritonsillar abscesses otherwise the source will remain there. 3) Adenoids Infected with bacteria must be treated with antibiotics as long as possible. Surgery can be considered only when this medications fails several time and child ( 7 infections in a year) and having complications. 4) Surgery if needed must be done by expert and you should also ask him about the risks associated with it. I hope this will help you. Please give your valuable feedback. Wish you a healthy life. Dr Jigar. ID specialist.
