Children's tonsils are swollen, what should they pay attention to in their diet and daily life

Enlarged tonsils in children is a very common phenomenon. If not handled properly, it can easily leave a root of the disease. Therefore, parents not only need to cooperate with the doctor for treatment but also pay attention to their children’s daily living habits and diet. So what should we pay attention to in the diet and daily life of children with enlarged tonsils? Let’s take a closer look at it below!

1. Pay attention to your child's temperature, don't dress him too warmly, and give him appropriate cold-resistance exercises. Don't just think about the child being cold, but more importantly, be careful not to let the child get too hot.

Some children always wear too many clothes. Even in winter, their clothes are soaked with sweat all day long. How can they not catch a cold if they wear sweaty underwear all day long? The ancients said: "If you want a child to be safe, he must be three parts hungry and cold." This is the truth.

2. If you feel feverish after activity, loosen your clothes in time to avoid getting them wet with sweat. Parenting requirements: Children should be taught to dress and undress themselves before they go to kindergarten at the age of 3.

If clothes are soaked with sweat, they should be changed into dry underwear in time. Do not let children wear sweaty underwear all day long. Children under three years old have not yet fully developed their body temperature regulation function, so their body temperature regulation changes completely with the changes in ambient temperature. When they are hot, they will sweat to cool down.

Therefore, when children sweat a lot, it is completely caused by wearing too hot clothes. The vast majority of children do not sweat due to illness. After sweating, the pores on the epidermis dilate, making it more likely to catch a cold.

3. If you have a cold, take medicine as early as possible and don't delay the treatment. Traditional Chinese pediatrics believes that: "Children are prone to illness and the symptoms change rapidly." When a child catches a cold, the results will be completely different if he or she takes the medicine an hour earlier or an hour later. Parents who have long-term contact with children should learn to observe whether their children have abnormal symptoms of colds, and take timely measures if any abnormalities are found.

4. If you have an illness, cure it all at once and don’t give up halfway. When a child has a fever over 39°C, the temperature should be lowered to below 38°C within 2 hours. If the temperature remains above 39°C for more than 2 hours, it will cause damage to brain cells and affect the child's intelligence.

Some children develop swollen tonsils or cough and bronchitis after catching a cold. Since they are not cured at one time, future colds will first manifest as swollen tonsils or coughs, and it is difficult to completely cure them. Over time, they will develop chronic swollen tonsils and chronic bronchitis.
