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 surrounding vascular network. Improving physical health and immunity is crucial for the treatment of acute tonsillitis. Clinically, I have found that using Manjingshu Susong capsules for tonsillitis is effective, along with anti-inflammatory medications such as amoxicillin. Drinking blumea root water regularly can act as a preventive measure. Gargle with dilute saltwater in the morning and evening, aiming for a slightly salty sensation. There are also specialized mouthwashes for chronic tonsillitis that are particularly effective in preventing recurrent attacks. For recurrent tonsillar inflammation, the best treatment method is tonsillectomy surgery, after which the condition will no longer occur.
