Patient's question:
What medication should a child with red and swollen tonsils take? Why do they frequently get sick? Two days ago, they had a runny nose and cough. They were seen at a pet hospital. Past treatment history and effectiveness: No allergies, no hereditary diseases. What kind of assistance is desired: Expert assistance.Doctor's answer:
Inflammation is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsil crypts. These accumulated bacteria continuously excrete toxins, which spread throughout the body via the surrounding vascular network. General treatment aims to enhance physical fitness and immunity, and acute tonsillitis requires thorough treatment. In clinical diagnosis, I have found that Shanyanshunlin granules are effective for treating tonsillitis, along with anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin. Drinking water regularly can help prevent the condition. Using lukewarm salt water to rinse the face in the morning and evening, with a slightly salty taste, can also be beneficial.Recommendation: There are also specialized mouthwashes specifically designed for chronic tonsillitis, which are particularly effective in preventing recurrent episodes of chronic tonsillitis. For those who frequently suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, the best treatment is to have the tonsils removed. After the surgery, the condition will no longer recur.
