Patient's question:
The child is only four years old, and recently, his tonsillitis has been recurring for several weeks. This time, he wants to take medicine to maintain a better effect. Is there a better medicine available? The child has been in pain these days, with severe sore throat. Doctor, how can I prevent my child from getting tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Four-year-old children often suffer from recurrent tonsillitis, and the most important preventive measure is to avoid colds. Tonsillitis is primarily caused by bacterial infections. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it can lead to tonsillar hypertrophy. Therefore, it is easy to develop tonsillitis after catching a cold or feeling cold. For tonsillitis, four-year-old children are generally treated with Pu'di Lan oral liquid or other anti-inflammatory drugs like cephalosporins or amoxicillin to combat infections, along with complementary traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying.
