What should I do if my baby has tonsillitis?

It is impossible for children to grow up smoothly throughout their growth process, so they can only grow up through "going through hardships". For example, the weather is quite hot now, and children may get inflamed due to the heat in their bodies. If the condition is serious, it may cause tonsillitis. This situation may also occur when you have a cold. So, if your child has tonsillitis, what should parents do?

First, find out what causes your baby's tonsils to become inflamed

Infections from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses can cause tonsillitis in your baby. As the baby grows, some pathogens will enter the tonsils through droplets or human contact. When the baby's resistance is reduced due to cold, these pathogens will cause inflammation.

Malnutrition in babies can also cause tonsillitis in babies. If your baby is picky about food, he or she may suffer from malnutrition, which will damage the spleen and stomach functions, lead to stomach fire, and thus cause tonsillitis. Moreover, when the baby is malnourished, the body's resistance will be reduced and tonsillitis will be caused.

Tonsillitis due to other diseases. If the baby has influenza, acute nasopharyngitis, etc., some bacteria will invade the tonsils, causing tonsillitis. Especially when the weather changes drastically, it is most likely to cause colds and tonsillitis.

How to take care of baby's tonsillitis?

Let your baby drink more water and take some licorice tablets, isatis root and other Chinese herbal medicines for treatment. These Chinese herbal medicines have the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and relieving sore throat, and have a good therapeutic effect on acute tonsillitis.

Let your baby brush his teeth and rinse his mouth frequently to maintain a hygienic and clean mouth. If your baby does not brush his teeth regularly, a large amount of bacteria will accumulate in his mouth, which will lead to tonsillitis and jaundice.

In terms of diet, let your baby eat more light food and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If you continue to eat spicy food, your tonsillitis will become more severe and more difficult to cure.

Take your baby to see a doctor. Acute tonsillitis may cause other complications. If it is accompanied by high fever or other conditions, it is best to take your baby to see a doctor in time and receive treatment under the doctor's guidance to prevent the occurrence of complications.
