Patient's question:
Boy baby, three years old, has had tonsillitis since childhood, except for geographic tongue. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Seen a doctor, taken traditional Chinese medicine, and had IV drips. It gets better but then recurs. What kind of help is available: Are there any good treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is a common disease in children, usually transmitted by streptococcus; geographic tongue indicates that the baby's spleen and stomach function is not good. Drink more water for the baby regularly to prevent fever and always maintain hygiene. The tonsils are the body's first line of defense (barrier). Once inflammation occurs, it reminds us to pay attention to avoid the condition from spreading deeply (such as bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.). Geographic tongue: develop good eating habits, and once the spleen and stomach function is improved, it will naturally get better. Here's a small prescription for you, which I often use to treat children. Dried Chinese yam 2 grams, chicken gizzard 1 gram, hawthorn 1 gram, roasted white atractylodes 2 grams, cardamom 1 gram, grind into powder and take orally.
