Question
The child is now three and a half years old and has had a stuffy nose for a year. The recent examination shows tonsillar hypertrophy. Can tonsillar hypertrophy be cured with traditional Chinese medicine?
Answer
I’m not sure of the child’s specific clinical symptoms at the moment, such as whether the child breathes through the mouth while sleeping or if there is snoring during sleep. If the child has the above clinical symptoms, it indicates that the tonsil enlargement is quite severe, and in this case, it is recommended to have surgery for the child as soon as possible, as there are no effective traditional Chinese medicine treatments available at present.
