What should I do if my child's tonsillitis lasts for more than twenty days?

Patient's question:

The child has tonsillitis for less than twenty days, she is sixteen years old, a girl, and shows no physical symptoms other than redness and swelling in the throat with small white spots. She has taken a lot of Chinese and Western medicine, but it hasn't improved. Today, the doctor at the hospital said it's just hypertrophy and there's nothing wrong. Could you advise whether a blood test is necessary?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, a complete blood count check can also be done. After the test, based on the situation, targeted decisions can be made regarding antibiotics or heat-clearing and detoxifying medications. Currently, based on the purchased images, it appears to be tonsillar hypertrophy with chronic tonsillitis, mainly due to previous acute tonsillitis not being treated promptly and effectively, making it difficult to heal now. Consider using traditional Chinese medicine in combination with treatment and rinse your face with salt water.
