What to do if your child has tonsillitis and severe cough

Tonsillitis is a very common inflammation in life, especially after autumn and winter, the weather is relatively dry. If children drink too little water or are infected by bacteria or viruses, they are often prone to tonsillitis. Once inflammation occurs, it will not only cause fever, but also easily cause coughing and affect the child's diet. So what should we do if children have severe coughing due to tonsillitis? Let's take a look at this aspect.

What to do if your child has tonsillitis and severe cough

What should you do after tonsillitis occurs? What are the treatments? Many people choose to take erythromycin, which can quickly eliminate the inflammation. But please note that roxithromycin is an antibiotic. Although it is very effective, if you take it frequently, it will be very irritating to the stomach and can easily cause stomach discomfort.

So when your tonsils are inflamed, is there any way to eliminate the inflammation? Here we recommend a combination of oral and external treatment methods, which can also help improve the body's immunity.

Internal use: Jiaogulan tea

First, boil about 20 grams of Gynostemma pentaphyllum in water for 15 minutes, and then drink it instead of tea every day. Remember not to drink other beverages.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is rich in ginsenosides, which can enhance the body's immunity. The flavonoids it contains can significantly improve the body's blood circulation.

External application: Evodia pills

First grind the fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa into fine powder, then add appropriate amount of rice vinegar to mix, and knead it into two longan-sized pills. Fix them on the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of both feet with gauze, and then fix them with adhesive tape. Wrap them for 2 days and then take them off.

Evodia rutaecarpa can regulate qi, relieve pain, and dry dampness. Sticking Evodia rutaecarpa pills on the Yongquan acupoint can reach the location of the tonsils through the meridians and achieve the effect of dispelling cold and relieving pain.

The combination of Jiaogulan and Evodia Pills can not only relieve pain but also reduce inflammation, and the effect is even better.

Tonsillitis is a very common inflammation, and now some parents let their children have their tonsils removed before they are teenagers. Tonsillectomy has both advantages and disadvantages, but in traditional Chinese medicine, the function of tonsils is not single, and some functions have not even been discovered by medicine, so they should not be removed, even if inflammation occurs several times a year.
