What is the treatment for acute tonsillitis in children?

Acute tonsillitis is one of our most common diseases, so for special groups like children, we must not be careless about the protection of tonsils. When we find that our tonsils are inflamed, we must first go to the hospital for examination in time. Then what symptoms will there be for acute tonsillitis are also things we need to care about and pay attention to. What treatment methods do we have for children?

Patients with mild symptoms can be given penicillin such as amoxicillin capsules. If the condition is severe or does not improve after using penicillin, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotics that are more sensitive to Gram-positive cocci can be given for treatment. If local complications such as periplasmic abscess occur, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics can be given intravenously and combined with metronidazole, or quinolone antibiotics can be used alone for treatment. Physical cooling therapy can be given to patients with fever. People with high fever can be given nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can also relieve pain and reduce inflammation to a certain extent. For patients with local complications such as peripunctate abscess, abscess incision and drainage can be performed.

Warm reminder: Patients with tonsillitis should eat light and easily digestible food, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy food, and take foods with clearing and tonic effects, such as tremella soup, seaweed soup, lotus seed and lily porridge, etc., which can not only clear away heat and relieve fire, but also moisturize the throat, which is very beneficial for recovery from the disease. Eat less irritating foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Keep bowel movements regular.

If you find that a child's tonsils are uncomfortable, you should seek medical attention immediately. Never take medicine on your own to avoid delaying the disease. Also, pay attention to the diet as light as possible, do not eat irritating food or too greasy food. Also, pay attention to keeping warm, and drink more warm water in your life. In addition, do not take acute tonsillitis lightly.
