Professor QIN Yanhong's experience in staged treatment of acute tonsillitis in children
To summarize the clinical experience of professor QIN Yanhong in the treatment of acute tonsillitisin children.Professor QIN,based on the physiological and pathological characteristics of children,identifies the causes and believes that the onset of acute tonsillitis is mostly caused by external wind heat and internal heat accumulation.Its pathogenesis is heat evil attacking the throat,burning and rotting the muscle membrane,blocking the veins,and obstructing qi and blood.During the course of the disease,excess heat is the most severe,sometimes on the surface,sometimes on the inside,sometimes producing phlegm,or causing blood stasis.Therefore,the treatment should main-ly focus on clearing and dispersing,supplemented by dispersing.According to clinical manifestations,it is divided in-to three stages:initial,middle,and extreme.Disease differentiation is combined with syndrome differentiation.In the initial stage,the principle is to expel wind and clear heat,and modified Yinqiao San(银翘散)is used.In the mid-term,based on the principle of clearing heat and purging fire,a modified self-formulated Ru'e Fang(乳蛾方)was used.Based on the principle of detoxification and carbuncle elimination,a modified self-formulated Ru'e Fang and Wuwei Xiaodu Yin(五味消毒饮)were given during the extreme period.In addition,professor QIN is good at com-bining internal and external treatment,emphasizing dietary regulation,in order to achieve the goal of disease preven-tion and recovery.One case is presented for verification.
