What should I do if my baby has tonsillitis and snores while sleeping?

As parents, we must observe our children's every move in daily life. Even if they feel a little bit uncomfortable, we must find out the cause, because many diseases that babies suffer from are accumulated bit by bit from life. Take tonsillitis as an example. After some babies get sick, their breathing will be affected, so they will snore when they sleep. So what should parents do?

Determine the cause

First, the doctor will confirm the cause of the child's illness, whether it is caused by a virus or bacteria. For inflammation caused by viruses, antiviral drugs can be used to treat it; if it is caused by bacterial infection (the most common is streptococcal infection), penicillin, cephalosporin and other antibacterial drugs are usually used for treatment.

Targeted treatment

After determining the cause of the disease, the doctor will treat the child's uncomfortable symptoms of tonsillitis, such as helping the child reduce fever and relieve sore throat.

Some parents think that tonsillitis is not a big problem and choose to take medicine themselves at home. Other parents believe that antibiotics will have an immediate effect. On the contrary, some parents believe that "antibiotics are poison" and only give their children some traditional Chinese medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying. None of the above approaches are advisable.

If your child has tonsillitis, he or she must go to the hospital and ask the doctor to provide targeted treatment to avoid affecting the treatment effect and delaying the disease. In addition, when the child is sick, the mother should remember to give him more water and gargle with salt water more often, which will help the child recover as soon as possible.

Tonsils seem strong, but sometimes they are very delicate. How should we protect them in our daily life?

1. Make sure your children exercise more and strengthen their physique.

2. Remind your children to pay attention to oral hygiene and rinse their mouths after meals.

3. Ensure that your child’s diet is balanced and nutritious, and that he or she eats more vegetables and fruits. Do not feed your children spicy or irritating foods, and do not let them develop the habit of being picky eaters or preferring snacks.

4. Let your children drink more water on weekdays.

5. When children suffer from rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis or colds, they should be treated actively.

6. Pay attention to weather changes, add clothes for your child appropriately, and maintain indoor and outdoor air circulation and temperature difference to prevent your child from getting sick frequently.
