Patient's question:
During the day, there are basically no symptoms, but at night while sleeping, the sounds are particularly loud, as if there is difficulty in breathing. When catching a cold, the tonsils become swollen, even purulent, and it can also cause mesenteric lymphadenitis. When there are no cold symptoms, it is just the loud sounds during sleep.Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsillar crypts. These accumulated bacteria continuously secrete toxins, which spread throughout the body via the surrounding blood vessels.General Treatment
Strengthen the body and immune system. Acute tonsillitis requires thorough treatment. In clinical practice, I have found that Mian Yan Shu Lin granules are effective for treating tonsillitis, especially when combined with anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin. Drinking water regularly can help prevent recurrence. Gargling with lukewarm salt water in the morning and evening, until a slightly salty sensation is felt, is also beneficial. There are also specialized gargles designed for chronic tonsillitis, which are particularly effective in preventing recurrent episodes.
For patients with recurrent tonsillitis, the best treatment is tonsillectomy. After the surgery, the condition will not recur.
