Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How should I handle swollen tonsils in infants?Doctor's answer:
Hello, tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsil crypts. These accumulated bacteria continuously secrete toxins and 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 Man Yan Shu Lin granules are effective for treating tonsillitis, especially when combined with antibiotics such as amoxicillin. Drinking water regularly can help prevent recurrence. Gargle with lukewarm salt water in the morning and evening, aiming for a slightly salty taste. There are also specialized gargles designed for chronic tonsillitis, which are particularly effective in preventing recurring episodes.
For recurrent tonsillitis, the best treatment is tonsillectomy. After the surgery, the condition will no longer recur.
