Question
When a child has tonsillitis, parents often ask what medication to take. The tonsils are adjacent to the lingual tonsil, and the child always coughs during the day but not during naptime. What treatments and their effects have they received before? Now, they want to know which medication is effective.
Answer
Tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsillar crypts. These accumulated bacteria continuously release toxins and spread throughout the body through the vascular network around the tonsillar glands. The usual treatment methods include strengthening physical fitness and immunity, and thorough treatment should be administered for acute tonsillitis. Clinically, the treatment of tonsillitis is effective, with commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin. Drinking hawthorn root water regularly can help prevent it, and gargling with salt water in the morning and evening is recommended, aiming for a slight salty taste.
