    Many people often have tonsil inflammation, and the hospital does not cure it for a long time. The tonsils are too weak to become inflamed when a virus invades. However, tonsillitis can cause other complications if it is not cured for a long time

    May cause pharyngitis, rhinitis, otitis media, tracheitis, heart disease, rheumatism, nephritis). Tonsillitis needs to be grasped tightly**: first, to avoid its further aggravation and deterioration, and second, the body needs to restore its function, exert its immune bactericidal effect, and enhance physical fitness.

    Generally, do not excision. The tonsils are immune organs, and they lose a part of the body after cutting - this organ is a trivial matter, mainly because the tonsils are the organs of the immune system, and after cutting, they lose the first line of defense of the human body.

    For tonsil diseases, the effect of drugs produced in hospitals and pharmaceutical factories has not been satisfactory so far. Chinese medicine can be fully considered. It is treated with traditional Chinese medicine pills that dispel stasis and dissolve knots, detoxify and reduce swelling, and target pimples, lumps and inflammation.

    As long as you find the right medicine, it is not difficult for you to know. Due to my work, the author is well aware of the charm of traditional Chinese medicine, and has witnessed a large number of typical cases of tonsillitis, pharyngitis and lymphadenitis caused by traditional Chinese medicine, which verifies the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland.

    Usually pay attention not to eat spicy, fried, barbecued, these are hot and dry foods.
