Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. What are the causes of tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, tonsillitis is caused by bacterial or viral infections. Additionally, excessive consumption of warm-natured foods can lead to "internal heat" (), which may also cause tonsillitis. Generally, it is difficult to completely cure this condition.For this situation, it is important to drink plenty of water, engage in appropriate physical activity, and try to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Moderate exercise can help strengthen your immune system and prevent colds. During an episode, medications such as cephalexin and Shuanghuanglian (a traditional Chinese medicine) can be used to reduce inflammation and clear "internal heat." If the condition is severe and recurrent, surgical removal of the tonsils may be considered.
