Question: How can the child receive a vaccine while taking Chinese medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Acute tonsillitis is most commonly caused by the transmission of bacteria or viruses when the body's resistance is reduced. It begins abruptly, with a sore throat as the main symptom, accompanied by symptoms such as chills, fever, and headache. It is a common illness among children and young adults. Chronic tonsillitis results from repeated episodes of acute tonsillitis, characterized by dryness in the throat, a feeling of blockage, sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, and halitosis. The recurring nature of chronic tonsillitis can lead to other diseases, such as chronic nephritis, arthritis, and rheumatic heart disease. Therefore, active treatment is necessary. Patients should exercise regularly to strengthen their physical fitness, pay attention to oral hygiene, promptly treat nearby diseases, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. They should also quit smoking and drinking. If this condition develops into a focus that can lead to other diseases, or if there are other surgical indications, surgical treatment should be considered.
