Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis is generally treated by strengthening the body and immunity. Acute tonsillitis requires thorough treatment. Using Manman Shunlin Granules for tonsillitis yields good results, combined with Amoxicillin and others. Chronic tonsillitis is often caused by repeated infections of acute tonsillitis or crypt drainage compensation, with bacteria and viral infections within the crypts. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as "slow milk throat" or "deficient fire milk throat." It is believed to be caused by incomplete treatment of wind-heat milk throat or residual heat from warm diseases, leading to lung and kidney yin deficiency and floating deficiency fire. The clinical classification and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine:1. Symptoms of insufficient lung yin include: dryness and slight itching in the throat, a sensation of obstruction, occasional dry cough, swollen tonsils with surrounding redness, or accompanied by shortness of breath and fatigue. Medications: Rehmannia, Scutellaria, Ophiopogon, Adenophora, White Peony Root, Moutan, Fritillaria, Licorice, etc.
