Question
My child, almost five years old, experiences frequent tonsillitis, often requiring antibiotic treatment. I would like to inquire if there are any effective traditional Chinese medicine remedies for recurring purulent tonsillitis.
Answer
In today’s society, due to the excessive use of antibiotics, many children are experiencing recurring purulent tonsillitis. It is advisable not to resort to antibiotics at the first sign of fever. It is best to seek help from traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to fundamentally adjust the child’s body and reduce the likelihood of catching colds. Currently, it is important to comprehensively opsonize the child’s body rather than simply treating the purulent tonsillitis. This requires a holistic differential diagnosis and treatment based on the child’s constitution. Additionally, it is recommended that the child consume more vegetables and less meat, drink more water, and promote overall health.
