Question
My son is over six years old, and the doctor said he has enlarged tonsils. He has taken quite a few medications. What were the previous treatment situations and outcomes?
Answer
Tonsillitis is caused by the accumulation of bacteria and secretions in the tonsil crypts. These accumulated bacteria continuously secrete toxins and spread throughout the body through the vascular network surrounding the adenoid glands. Generally, treatment focuses on strengthening the body’s constitution and immunity, with adequate treatment for acute tonsillitis. In clinical diagnosis, I have found that using Manyan Shu She Granules for treating tonsillitis yields good results, along with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as amoxicillin. Precautions: Drink honeysuckle root water regularly for some preventive effect. Wash your face with salt water in the morning and evening, making it slightly salty for comfort.
