Homeopathy is a very sound alternative. If your son is prone to tonsilitis this would be noted in a case-taking session along with the rest of his history. You could expect to see the tonsilitis occuring less frequently and less forcefully in the first 6 months of treatment. Children are far easier to treat than adults.
If you do opt for homeopathy – make sure you find someone who’s a homeopath — not a naturopath (their training only includes a cursory introduction to homeopathy and most do not apply it properly). Also, try to find someone who’s experienced (10+ yrs). And give it at least 1 year — all cases are different – and not all will resolve as quickly as others.
Avoid antibiotics (they only suppress the immune system instead of actually stimulating/supporting it!). Make sure his diet is healthy. Make sure he gets plently of fresh air and exercise. When he’s ill – make sure he rests well so he can recover fully. When ill with an acute – allow him to eat/drink whatever he craves (with chronic illness – it’s a different scenario).
On a more general note:
Childhood illnesses (measles, mumps, etc) aren’t as bad as some would have you believe. It’s very common to see children leap forward to next milestone after a childhood illness. Another bonus is they are immune for life!! This is not the case with vaccines.
However, illnesses like tonsilitis, are a sign that the immune system is being taxed. As long as he’s able to recover from each episode — he’ll eventually grow out of getting them if you choose not to seek any treatment.
Some will say to use echinacea – but, beware – don’t give it for more than 10 days at a time or it compromises the immune system). And echinacea is not homeopathy, by the way.
Best of luck — hope this helps some.
Depends on the reason the tonsils need to be removed, but chiropractic care has a good chance of clearing up the problem.
