Question
A 5-year-old child has severe rhinitis with bilateral tonsillar enlargement; inquire whether surgery can be performed for treatment.
Answer
Acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis in the acute exacerbation phase are primarily treated with antibiotics, with medication usage requiring sufficient dosage and duration. Some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, which can alleviate symptoms, can be taken orally as an adjunct. Participate in physical exercise regularly to enhance physical fitness and reduce the chance of upper respiratory infections. Appropriately take vitamin C and other supplements to assist in treatment. It is recommended that patients visit a specialist promptly and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance. It is appropriate to engage in moderate exercise in daily life, and attention should be paid to preventing internal heat. It is hoped that the child can recover quickly!
