Question
The friend’s son has had swollen tonsils for over a year, with three episodes. He hasn’t had a fever during this time, just pays attention to his diet. However, he often has a hoarse voice, and it persists. He has seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but it hasn’t worked. What remedies can help cure the condition of swollen tonsils without surgery? Also, what interference might surgery have on the child if it is considered?
Answer
Based on your description, the main consideration is chronic tonsillitis, which may require surgical removal. Guidance: If a child’s tonsils frequently recur, it is necessary to have them removed surgically at the hospital to avoid frequent recurrence in the future. Generally, there are no adverse effects on the body after surgical removal of the tonsils, so there is no need to worry. Pay attention to preventing colds and catching a chill.
