Patient's question:

Question: How can the child receive a vaccine during the Chinese medicine treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Acute tonsillitis is most commonly caused by the transmission of bacteria or viruses when the body's resistance is weakened. It manifests suddenly, with a sore throat as the primary symptom, accompanied by chills, fever, headache, and other symptoms. It is a common condition among children and young adults. Chronic tonsillitis results from repeated episodes of acute tonsillitis and is characterized by dryness in the throat, a sense of obstruction, sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, and halitosis. The recurrent nature of chronic tonsillitis can lead to other diseases, such as chronic nephritis, arthritis, and rheumatic heart disease, making active treatment essential. Patients should exercise regularly to strengthen their physical fitness, maintain good oral hygiene, promptly treat nearby diseases, and follow a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. They should also quit smoking and alcohol. If this condition leads to other diseases or if there are other surgical indications, surgical treatment should be considered.
