Patient's question:
Patient is male, 7 years old. Six months ago, his voice began to become hoarse. The local hospital treated it as tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, acute tonsillitis. During the acute phase of chronic tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment should be the primary approach, with medications being administered in sufficient dosage and duration. Some oral traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) remedies that clear heat and detoxify, as well as alleviate symptoms, can be used as supplementary treatment. Regular physical exercise should be engaged in to enhance physical fitness and reduce the incidence of upper respiratory infections. Appropriate use of drugs such as vitamin C can also aid in the treatment.
