What are the complications of tonsillitis in children?

Tonsillitis in children is a common disease in children, and it is very easy to recur. When the disease occurs, children will have symptoms such as sore throat and decreased appetite. Many parents do not have a full understanding of the disease and think that tonsillitis can be treated with medication. In fact, tonsillitis in children can also cause a series of complications. If it is not treated correctly and in time, it can easily lead to complications. Let's take a look at the complications of tonsillitis in children.

The harm of tonsillitis in children is not only reflected in its impact on physiological functions, but also in the various complications it causes, as follows:

1. Impact on children's speech development:

Children who suffer from tonsillitis for a long time will have slurred speech and unclear pronunciation, which is caused by the impact of inflammation on the throat. In the long run, it will affect the development of children's speech.

2. Affect the normal physiological function of the throat:

Tonsillitis will cause severe throat pain after the onset of the disease, especially for children, which will seriously affect the normal physiological function of the child's throat and make it difficult to eat. Such long-term influence on children's eating will lead to malnutrition and affect their physical development.

3. Cause local complications:

If tonsillitis is not treated in time, the inflammation will continue to spread in the child's immature body, causing a series of local complications, such as otitis media, rhinitis, sinusitis, acute laryngitis, etc., and even bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., which are extremely harmful to the child;

4. Cause systemic complications:

The harm of tonsillitis is not only manifested in local complications, but also in systemic complications, such as acute arthritis, rheumatic fever, myocarditis, acute nephritis, etc. In severe cases, it may even lead to sudden death of the patient, and the harm is unpredictable.

The above are the complications that may occur when children's tonsillitis recurs and cannot be cured. After understanding this, we hope that it can attract the attention of parents. Pay more attention to adding or removing clothes for children in time and pay attention to children's hygiene issues. In addition to providing children with sufficient nutrition, they should also let children actively engage in some physical exercise every day to enhance their physical fitness and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
