Question

Based on your description, an 8-year-old male with tonsillitis, experiencing headache and pain when swallowing, what methods can be used to prevent tonsillitis?

Answer

Preventive Measures for Tonsillitis:

  1. Avoid stimulating food (spicy and fried foods), high-salt and spicy foods, and do not consume over-hot, over-cold, expired, or spoiled food.
  2. Treat chronic tonsillitis actively.
  3. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
  4. Maintain a regular lifestyle.
  5. Increase physical exercise; activities such as walking, cycling, singing, dancing, or any activity that can strengthen the body’s constitution, such as slowing heart rate and sweating, can be beneficial. Tonsillitis is a disease that is not easy to alleviate. I hope these suggestions will help you prevent tonsillitis. If your child’s symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek professional medical advice and treatment.
