Question
The child is five years old and has had symptoms of tonsillitis following a cold for a month now. They have seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and taken Western medicine, but there has been no improvement. The tonsils remain red and swollen but have not visibly enlarged. What treatment methods should be considered?
Answer
If a child has a tonsillitis, it may be necessary to undergo anti-inflammatory treatment to avoid recurrent colds and fevers. If the tonsils swell to II degree or above, surgical treatment can be considered. Post-surgery, resistance-enhancing medications can be taken, and treatments such as silver and gold lozenges can also be used.
