Patient's question:
I've been generally quite healthy lately. I've had colds and fevers, and I always manage to get through them. Last month, I went out with friends for dinner and after coming back, I developed acute tonsillitis. My throat was sore, and I didn't take any medicine. The soreness persisted, and the doctor said it was chronic tonsillitis. Chronic tonsillitis—can it be cured without medication?Doctor's answer:
Chronic tonsillitis is mostly caused by the lack of timely treatment or improper treatment during the acute phase. Chronic tonsillitis can be regulated by improving immunity, maintaining good lifestyle habits, and adopting a healthy diet. In daily life, you can drink chrysanthemum tea, eat a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, supplement with various vitamins, and get adequate rest while minimizing loud shouting. Regular exercise can also enhance immunity and prevent colds and other illnesses.
