Question
Our child was born prematurely and has always been rather weak physically. They are especially susceptible to infections at kindergarten, leading to frequent tonsillitis. We are worried about the impact on their health. What are some effective medications for tonsillitis?
Answer
Chronic tonsillitis generally does not require the use of antibiotics. Treatment primarily involves cooling and detoxifying Chinese medicine, and can be combined with nebulizer therapy and gentle saltwater face washes. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, affecting breathing and swallowing, consideration should be given to removal. For severe inflammation, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment, avoiding blind medication use to prevent exacerbating the condition.
