What should I do if my child has tonsillitis?

Tonsillitis in children is a common disease in children in daily life. It is an upper respiratory tract infection. Because children have low resistance, the chance of tonsillitis is higher in the autumn and winter seasons when the temperature difference between day and night is large. If tonsillitis is not treated seriously in the early stages, it will become purulent. So what should we do if children have tonsillitis and suppuration?

Purulent tonsillitis is one of the common diseases in children. It is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by bacterial infection. Since children's disease resistance and immunity are weaker than those of adults, they are very likely to suffer from infectious diseases such as pediatric purulent tonsillitis. Therefore, it is very important to prevent the occurrence of purulent tonsillitis in children. The main manifestation of purulent tonsillitis in children is tonsil suppuration: sore throat, especially when swallowing; most children have symptoms of persistent high fever.

Parents must pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to keeping your child at a suitable temperature. It is best not to wear too many clothes. Wearing too many clothes will cause excessive sweating, which will make it easier for your child to catch a cold.

2. After children sweat during activities, they should take off their wet clothes in time. After sweating, the pores will expand, and the cold air will enter the body more easily.

3. Children’s illness must be cured at one time, otherwise high fever can easily cause infection, causing the child to suffer from pediatric purulent tonsillitis.

4. Eat a balanced diet and enhance nutrition. Children's diet must be nutritionally balanced and in reasonable proportions. In particular, it is important to help children get rid of the bad habit of eating snacks. Most snacks have little nutritional value and will cause children to not eat well, leading to nutritional imbalance.

5. Cultivate good living habits for children. Make sure your child can take good care of himself or herself, know when to add or remove clothing, and eat well. This will minimize the chance of catching a cold and ensure a balanced intake of nutrition.

After the above introduction, we know what to do if children have tonsillitis and suppuration. Therefore, in daily life, once a child has tonsil pain, it is necessary to treat it in time. Do not wait until the tonsils become purulent before treating it, as this will cause greater harm to the child. However, if the tonsils are festering, you must care for your child according to the above precautions!
