1. General treatment

(1) Keep your mouth clean. Brush your teeth before going to bed and rinse your mouth after meals to reduce the chance of bacterial infection in the oral cavity.

(2) For the gargling method, you can choose iodine tablets, 1 to 2 tablets each time, 3 to 4 times a day. Gargling with light salt water is simple and convenient. You can take a cup of warm water after meals and before going to bed, add a little salt until it tastes salty, and gargle repeatedly for about 5 minutes each time.

(3) Drug treatment: Use drugs that enhance immunity. If it is a streptococcal infection, long-acting penicillin can be used for treatment. Strengthen physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and disease resistance. When conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment should be used.

2. Principles of surgical treatment

(1) Those whose tonsils are too enlarged, which hinders breathing and swallowing.

(2) Recurrent acute attacks, more than 4 to 5 times per year, with a history of peritonsillar abscess.

(3) Patients with long-term low-grade fever and no other lesions except tonsillitis during systemic examination.

(4) Diseases such as nephritis and rheumatism caused by tonsillitis should be treated with elective surgery under the guidance of a doctor.
