Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
It may be caused by tonsillitis. The main treatment is with antibiotics, and the medication should be taken 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 supplementary treatment. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods, which are irritating. If the effect is not satisfactory, hospitalization for tonsillectomy may be considered for treatment.
