Patient's question:
5-year-old child with rhinitis and severe swollen tonsils on both sidesDoctor's answer:
Hello, acute tonsillitis. During the acute phase of chronic tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment should be the primary approach, with medications being used in sufficient dosage and duration. Some oral traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs that clear heat and detoxify, as well as alleviate symptoms, can be used as adjuvants. Regular physical exercise should be engaged in to enhance physical fitness and reduce the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections. Appropriate supplementation with vitamin C and other medications can also aid in treatment.
