Question

My child is only four years old, and has been suffering from recurrent tonsillitis for the past few weeks. I want to give him medication to keep it under control. Are there any better medications available? The child is in a lot of pain with a severe sore throat. Doctor, what are the best ways to prevent tonsillitis in children?

Answer

For a four-year-old, treatments typically include Pudendal Blue oral liquid, or other cephalosporin or amoxicillin-based antibiotics to combat infection, along with traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying.
