Can dietary therapy for children's swollen tonsils cure it?

Patient's question:

The child was born only a few days ago, and recently they've been scratching their ears for some reason. I was wondering if dietary methods for treating swollen tonsils in children can cure this.

Doctor's answer:

The most direct ways to treat Grade II tonsil enlargement are only two: surgical treatment and medication. I do not recommend surgical removal because the child is too young—only four years old. After tonsillectomy, the child loses the first line of defense against diseases, making it easier to contract illnesses. I suggest medication as the best treatment for the child. Medications like clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as soothing the throat and reducing inflammation, are excellent choices for treating pediatric tonsil enlargement. Wishing you and your child good health.
