Can Respiratory Infections Cause Tonsil Scarring?
my daughter has had multiple upper respiratory infections, colds,etc. she is seven. I've been told she has atopic asthma.....her tonsils look nasty! To me they look Like severe acne scaring plus now I've noticed red lines. What does this mean? She just recently was on antibiotics for a bad sinus infection, sore throat, and ear infection.

Hi
Thank you for writing to Health care Magic
Repeated infections or inflammations of the tonsils can cause scarring of the tonsils. This requires treatment by tonsillectomy. Do consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you. Do write to me for further questions and I will be happy to help.
