How to treat swollen tonsils in children?

Tonsils are an important tissue in the human throat. They play a very important role. They are the first line of defense of the human body and can provide initial blocking effects on various bacteria and viruses. However, the tonsils themselves have very low resistance and are prone to swelling. Especially in children, swollen tonsils are very common. Let’s take a look at how to treat swollen tonsils in children.

Enlarged tonsils in children do not necessarily need to be removed. It depends on the child's condition. Tonsillectomy is not something that must be done. It is just a measure taken sometimes to avoid certain complications. If surgery is performed, attention should be paid to preventing infection after the operation, spicy food should be avoided, and try to exercise more to improve physical fitness. This can also avoid the impact of colds on the thyroid gland.

If it is tonsillitis, take anti-inflammatory measures first. Don't remove the tonsils if the situation is not serious. If it threatens the health of other parts of the body, you must remove them. Check for allergens, desensitize and eliminate allergic inflammation of the respiratory tract as soon as possible. No surgery is needed. It can be completely cured by gradually regressing after 6-8 years old.

Pecking therapy (surgical therapy, pecking therapy) is a new type of Chinese medicine surgical therapy that has been successfully developed by combining Chinese medicine theory with modern medicine. The advantage is that the baby does not need general anesthesia and avoids the pain of surgery. It is recommended that parents can choose to find a professional Chinese medicine pediatrician to do it. The principle of pecking therapy is to use a special surgical scimitar or a sterilized three-edged needle to make pecking movements on the tonsils, 4-5 times on each side, preferably accompanied by a small amount of bleeding. Once every 2-3 days, 5 times as a course of treatment. Early pecking can increase the likelihood of your baby's tonsils becoming smaller.

2. Acupoint massage (massage therapy, acupoint massage) You can massage the baby's Tiantu point, Lianquan point, and Hegu point. Parents can massage their babies more often on the above-mentioned acupoints, which can also relieve the symptoms of enlarged tonsils in babies.
