Does there exist a better Chinese herbal formula for children's tonsil inflammation?

Patient's question:

[Symptoms: Acute purulent tonsillitis, high fever of 39.5°C for the first four days
Onset time and cause: August 8th, high fever with a cold
Treatment: August 8th to August 9th, two days of intravenous drip to reduce fever, but the pus points on the tonsils did not completely disappear. Medication has been taken continuously. Antibiotics and heat-clearing and detoxifying medications
Help needed: Frequent tonsillitis, always requiring intravenous drips. Western medicine is too dependent. Are there any Chinese herbal formulas that can help eliminate the pus points on the tonsils?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily focuses on wind dispelling, heat clearing, sore throat relief, and detoxification in the acute phase; while nourishing yin, reducing fire, strengthening the spleen, and resolving phlegm in the chronic phase.
For wind-cold external invasion, treatment should involve wind dispelling and cold dispelling, as well as swelling reduction and sore throat relief. Wind dispelling, lung ventilation, and cold dispelling often use cinnamon twigs, roasted ephedra, and perilla leaves; for sore throat relief and detoxification, asarum, fritillaria, and raw licorice are commonly chosen; for reducing reversal and resolving phlegm, pinellia is selected.
For damp-heat external invasion, treatment should involve dampness transformation and detoxification, as well as sore throat relief and swelling reduction. Dampness transformation and heat clearing use white cardamom, patchouli, oldenlandia, silicea, cloud poria, and mung bean; for heat clearing and detoxification, baical skullcap and Forsythia are used; for sore throat relief and swelling reduction, fritillaria, asarum, burdock seed, and cicada slough are applied.
For wind-heat external invasion, treatment should involve wind dispelling and heat clearing, as well as swelling reduction and sore throat relief. Wind dispelling and heat clearing use honeysuckle and Forsythia; for heat clearing, lung ventilation, and phlegm resolution, baical skullcap, Chinese fritillaria, mulberry bark, platycodon, and radix trichosanthis are used; for sore throat relief and detoxification, asarum and fritillaria are selected; for nourishing yin, cooling blood, and heat clearing, peony and scutellaria are applied.
