Patient's question:
I've been drinking red wine these last couple of days, and I've noticed that after just a few sips, my tonsils start to swell, but they return to normal shortly after I finish drinking. I don't know why this happens.Past treatment history and effectiveness: I have never been treated for this. What kind of help I need: I want to know what the reason is?
Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is actually an upper respiratory tract infection, also known as what we call a fever. it is essentially caused by a weak constitution and the invasion of external pathogens, as the body is unable to expel them. in clinical diagnosis, when inflammation is detected, antibiotics are often used in large quantities, but the results are often unsatisfactory. this is because most inflammations are caused by viral or chlamydial infections. however, there are many types of viruses, and they are highly variable. the pace of updates in Western medicine still lags behind the changes in viruses, let alone some small pet hospitals that still use outdated medications. it is recommended to try integrated Chinese and Western medicine preparations, such as antiviral granules and fever-relieving formulas. in addition, it is essential to pay attention to rest and drink plenty of water. it will improve within a few days.
