Treatment of tonsillitis:

1. Medication

(1) Acute tonsillitis is contagious and should be appropriately isolated. Because this disease is mostly caused by streptococcal infection, the use of antibiotics and sulfonamides has better therapeutic effects. Penicillin is the first choice antibiotic. Those who are allergic to penicillin can choose erythromycin, lincomycin, etc. People with high fever, headache and body aches can choose antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as aspirin. If the condition does not improve after 2 to 3 days of treatment, viral or other bacterial infection should be considered, and antiviral drugs, sensitive antibiotics or sulfonamides should be used instead. Adrenal cortical hormones such as prednisone and dexamethasone may be used as appropriate. In addition, you should pay attention to rest, have bowel movements, drink plenty of water, eat cold liquid food, and take appropriate amounts of antipyretic and analgesic drugs, mouthwashes, etc. Most patients can recover in about 1 week.

(2) For acute suppurative tonsillitis, hot compress or ultrashort wave thermal therapy on both sides of the mandibular angle has an anti-inflammatory effect.

(3) Chronic tonsillitis can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine.

2. Surgery

There is no definitely effective conservative treatment for chronic tonsillitis. To prevent serious complications caused by tonsil lesions, tonsillectomy can be performed.
