Introduction
Tonsillitis can be relieved by identifying the underlying cause and through medication, including antibiotic treatment. Tonsil pain may result from conditions such as acute inflammatory infections (e.g., tonsillitis) or tonsillar tumors, both of which are often caused by bacterial infections, such as hemolytic streptococcus. Treatment should include targeted anti-inflammatory therapy to eliminate inflammation, and may be combined with nebulized inhalation.
In fact, symptoms of tonsillitis can generally be divided into these three categories. First, there is a history of recurrent severe colds or peritonsillar abscesses; symptoms are usually not very obvious but often accompanied by episodes of acute flare-ups. Second, the throat frequently experiences mild symptoms such as dryness, itching, and a sensation of a foreign body, along with irritative coughing and bad breath. So, what causes tonsillitis?
What Causes Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis can be relieved by identifying the underlying cause and through medication, including antibiotic treatment. Tonsil pain may result from acute inflammatory infections causing tonsillitis, or from conditions such as tonsil tumors—all typically triggered by bacterial infections, such as hemolytic streptococcus. During treatment, targeted anti-inflammatory therapy is required to eliminate inflammation, which can be combined with nebulized inhalation to reduce congestion and swelling in the throat. Throat-relief sprays like Kaihoujian spray can also help alleviate pain and prevent new microbial growth on the tonsils that could lead to difficulty swallowing and swelling.
Relief from tonsil pain can be achieved through dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, antibiotics, and other treatments, helping to reduce the illness. Depending on the type of tonsillitis, different relief methods apply. However, due to individual differences, symptom severity may vary among patients. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and proper treatment.
In daily life, patients are advised to eat more foods such as kumquats and pomegranates, maintain good oral hygiene, and rinse the mouth after meals. We hope this information helps you. Wishing you good health and happiness.
