Question
How should one handle a child who always has red and swollen tonsils?
Answer
A child who has been experiencing frequent tonsillitis since the age of 2 is now 7 and still faces similar issues, along with severe snoring that only occurs when sleeping on their side. Assessment indicates that the child has chronic tonsillitis with a significant accumulation of bacteria in the tonsil crypts, causing recurrent inflammation. Current treatment methods primarily involve antibiotic intravenous therapy, which can only provide temporary relief of symptoms but does not cure the root cause. It is advisable to seek specialized traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which typically requires 1 to 3 sessions for a cure and has no side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment shows significant antipyretic effects and is less likely to recur, addressing the issue at its root.
