Abstract: According to professor Wang Shouchuan's clinical experience， pediatric tonsillitis can be divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis based on syndrome differentiation， and the treatment principle is to resolve toxin and disperse swelling. The acute tonsillitis can be further divided into the syndrome of toxin congesting lung and throat and syndrome of muscle fester based on the clinical feature， with the former being treated by dispelling wind， clearing away heat， removing toxin to sooth throat while the latter being treated with detoxication， carbuncles elimination， drainage of pus to sooth throat. As for chronic tonsillitis， it can also be further divided into the syndrome of toxin retained in throat and syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis. The method of soothing throat， dispersing swelling， removing toxin to eliminate stagnation should be applied to the former type， while the method of tonifying qi， nourishing yin， activating blood circulation to disperse swelling should be used to the latter type.
