I'm surprised to read some comments to your post. Only Mari's response makes full sense.
And it's a good thing that ApotheosisMMC has not been his tonsils removed. there is no useless organ in our body tonsils and adenoids, as well intestinal appendice are immunity organs!! No organ is useless in our body (unless it is really ill with complication risk). They are called lymphoid organs because they are full of lymphocytes, there immunity cells that multiply (thus the increasing volume of these organes, with inflammation). They multiply in order to neutralyie harmfull molecules entering the body (especially in food and water, some medicaments too.
- Surgery: I don't recommend that. It's a normal and good thing tonsils and adenoids are large at that age (unless there are obstructive, which is not the case here. It's a sign that her immune response is working, white cells try to neutralize foreign elements. Removing them is an abusive surgery (unless there are really obstructive, ie with difficult breathing, wich is not the case here)
- Tylenol; it's acetaminophen!! search it on sott, there are some very bad side effects, somme not visible but insidious especially on liver an brain.
- same thing with ear drainers: its' avoidable in the cases similar to your daughter's.
- when she "catches" something like a cold or the flu (or I don't know what), the mucus doubles or triples.
Too much mucous is a physiologic and normal process: the mucosal line increases the mucus secretion in order to expel foreign and toxic molecules. When it becomes problematic, like in this case, I don't recommend antibiotics (I agree with the allergologist here), neither NSAID like someone recommended it here).
Sea salt cleaning: why not but it's not enough. The neti pot is not more efficient than a single cleaner. I rather recommend to do it with nebulisation. There was a thread about that, I don't remermber the title. In the nebulizer, you can put physiologic water with a bit of dissolved sea salt, sodium bicarbonate ++, NAC ++, magnesium, vit C if you want.
- NAC is very good per os too.
ear drops, anti-histamin: No!! One must avoid all these stuff full of artificial and insidious toxics and without real good effect.
Other advices:
-probiotics
-avoid vitamins from pharmacies (lots of additives and some elements not good, contrary to common belief like iron)
- replace it with Bach flowers or with homeopathy, it works well for nose and ears.
avoid vegan proteinated stuff. Proteinated can also mean insect floor in the food domain.
-increase fat, like bacon and fatty pork meat, as she needs a source of energy food. Even more as you have decreased sugar (and you do well). You can give her honey (really organic one, not the one labelled organic for commercial purpose) with lemon.
- avoiding the cat? I don't really agree. sensitivity means sensitivity not cause. If one avoids the toxins present in drinks and foods, the cat sensitivity is not a real problem. But a doctor will not say that because otherwise he'll have nothing to advice, he won't say that our food is denaturated (even organic food, let's not be credulous). Even modern essential oils that need tons of plants for just 2 or 3 little bottles, wich means that yu have some chance to have pesticids in your essential oils, unless you get it from a traditional herbalist.
- filter your tap water, don't brush teeth with fluor added paste
- avoid food rich in oaxalate as mari said
-avoid food from milk, because of casein (still present in cheese ) and lactose. Yoghourt ris rather a good food though there is still casein, but there is zero lactose and there are plenty of probiotics if tou buy it from a good source. be aware that the yogurt coming from milk industry has milk added once yogurt has been obtained in order to give a smooth taste. It's good to gustative tongue but not for our gut microbiome.

, so I'm sure there has to be at least one good TCM practitioner around.
