Acute tonsillitis is a relatively common throat disease, primarily caused by acute bacterial infection. It leads to redness and pain in the tonsil area. If the inflammatory response is severe, it can also affect normal breathing and swallowing, particularly in cases where the body's resistance is weakened or when accompanied by other diseases, making it easier to trigger tonsillitis. In terms of treatment, antibiotics are generally used to combat the infection, and nebulization and oral traditional Chinese medicine can be considered for auxiliary treatment. The treatment and recovery period is about a week. If the inflammation is mild, recovery may take about five days, but if the inflammation is particularly severe, it might take more than a week. If oral medications are ineffective, intravenous therapy might need to be considered. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
