Abstract: The paper aims to summarize Professor Jia Liujin's experience in the treatment of child tonsillitis.According to the onset of disease and the length of disease course，the disease is divided into acute and chronic tonsillitis. Professor Jia Liujin thinks that acute tonsillitis is mostly caused by solid heat while chronic tonsillitis is mostly due to fire of deficiency.Because the disease is in the throat and the cause is mostly fire，the primary principle of treatment is to clear throat.Clinically differentiated treatment is performed based on different onset of child tonsillitis.For acute tonsillitis of wind-heat invasion,the treatment principle is to relieve wind,clear heat,detoxify and clear throat,and the prescription of Yinchai Tuire decoction is used; for this type, the treatment focuses on clearing heat and detoxifying so as to stop high fever.For acute tonsillitis of excessive lung-stomach heat,the treatment principle is to clear lung and stomach heat,resolve phlegm and disperse stagnation,ventilate nose and manage adenoidal hypertrophy at the same time,and such medicines as Scutellaria baicalensis, Rhizoma cimicifugae, plaster, ageratum and Arisaema cum bile.The points in the treatment of this type of disease lie in clearing lung and stomach heat and solving the problem of snoring in children.Chronic tonsillitis is mostly due to Yin-deficiency of lung and kidney,and the treatment focuses on nourishing Yin and eliminating fire and clearing throat,and the prescription of Zhibai Dihuang decoction with modification is used.This type of tonsillitis is likely to recur,the remained evil is hard to be eliminated,and lingering evil heat damages Yin of lung and kidney,so in the treatment,attention should be paid to the balance between strengthening resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors and to the prevention of recurrence of tonsillitis.Currently there has been no significantly effective therapy for tonsillitis,and in contrast differentiated TCM treatment has its unique advantages. Professor Jia Liujin has his own features in clinical prescriptions and medication,which is proved to be effective in the treatment of this disease.A case report is attached for verification.
