What causes purulent tonsillitis in children?

Tonsillitis is a very common disease. Generally, for most people, the cause of tonsillitis must be understood before treatment, because adults can feel and know how to express their condition, but for many children, they are young and children who are only a few years old cannot express their condition. As a result, many people often use the wrong medicine accidentally because they do not understand their children's condition well enough, and fail to achieve the desired effect. There are many causes of purulent tonsillitis in children. When the disease occurs, we must first find the cause of the disease and observe it from life and body. In this way, careful parents will find it, and then take the child to the hospital for a detailed physical examination, and the treatment received will be safer and more effective.

There are many causes of tonsils.

If not treated promptly, it will lead to recurrent attacks of purulent tonsillitis. When bacterial or viral toxins enter the blood circulation, they can cause serious complications. Such as rheumatic fever, myocarditis, nephritis, arthritis, etc. Adjacent organs may also develop complications such as cervical lymphadenitis and otitis media. Therefore, this disease must be taken seriously, the patient's condition must be closely observed, and timely treatment must be given to prevent complications from occurring.

Beware of suppurative tonsillitis in air-conditioned environment

People who sit in an air-conditioned environment for a long time often experience itchy nose and sneezing. As we all know, this is commonly known as "air-conditioning disease." Because the air-conditioning environment requires indoor doors and windows to be closed, bacteria accumulate in the house for a long time, viruses are cross-infected, and air-conditioning disease occurs. In fact, in addition to common rhinitis, you may not know that purulent tonsillitis is also a common air-conditioning disease.

The human body sweats a lot outdoors and the pores are open. Once entering an air-conditioned room, the pores become blocked, which can easily cause upper respiratory tract diseases. In addition, due to poor sleep in the summer, decreased resistance, long time in the air-conditioned room, inability to sweat, and easy to get sick. From a clinical perspective, upper respiratory tract infections caused by the above reasons are often seen in acute pharyngitis, acute suppurative tonsillitis and even acute laryngitis.

Causes of suppurative tonsillitis

1. From the cause of purulent tonsillitis, we can know that after suffering from purulent tonsillitis, if certain factors occur that reduce the resistance, such as cold, dampness, fatigue, malnutrition, cold, etc., purulent tonsillitis may recur.

2. When suffering from purulent tonsillitis, accompanied by other chronic conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, nasopharyngitis, etc., purulent tonsillitis is very likely to recur.

3. Persistent suppurative tonsillitis can lead to tonsil hypertrophy and cause chronic suppurative tonsillitis. Despite the use of antibiotics, the tonsils can still be infected again. Furthermore, food can lodge in small pits within the tonsils called tonsillar crypts and form pus plugs, which can lead to reinfection and prolong the course of suppurative tonsillitis.

Experts remind: Purulent tonsillitis should not be underestimated. Long-term repeated attacks and delayed treatment can cause complications such as acute nephritis and rheumatism, which seriously threaten your health. Purulent tonsillitis can be divided into acute and chronic depending on the symptoms. Patients with acute purulent tonsillitis need to drink more water, eat more vegetables, and take simple medicines when necessary, and they can recover in a short time. For chronic purulent tonsillitis, ordinary medicines can only relieve the symptoms, not cure them.
