What should I do if my child’s throat becomes festering?

Children's immune system is relatively weak. If they get inflamed due to improper diet or wearing too many clothes, it is likely to cause sore throat in children. When the throat becomes festering, it is usually accompanied by fever and pain in the throat. In addition to timely medication, attention should be paid to diet. Let's take a look at the dietary conditioning methods after children's throat festering.

Dietary taboos for children with tonsillitis:

You can eat pears when you have fever or sore throat. Pears have the effects of reducing fever, moistening the throat and relieving pain, which can alleviate symptoms. Pear juice also has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. Slice a pear, squeeze the juice and freeze it to make it easier to eat. If you have a fever and are extremely afraid of cold or prone to diarrhea, it is best to drink hot pear juice.

If you have tonsillitis, you should avoid eating dry, spicy, fried, and other irritating foods, such as ginger, chili, garlic, fried dough sticks, etc. During the acute phase of tonsillitis, the diet should be light, and it is advisable to eat foods that are rich in water and easily absorbed, such as thin rice soup (with salt), fruit juice, sugarcane juice, water chestnut water (powder), mung bean soup, etc.

During the chronic stage, it is advisable to eat fresh vegetables, fruits, beans and nourishing foods, such as soybeans, tofu, soy milk, pears, rock sugar, honey, lily soup, etc. When you feel something unusual in your throat, you can eat kumquats. Compared with other sour fruits, kumquat peels are quite sweet.

Kumquat peel is rich in nutrients, containing vitamin C and calcium, which can eliminate tonsillitis. The fruit contains vitamins A, B, C and calcium. If it tastes sour when eaten raw, you can add rock sugar or honey to make juice. Kumquat leaves also have medicinal effects. Boiling them into juice and drinking it has a good effect.

The root of Platycodon grandiflorum has medicinal effects and can clear throat suppuration, reduce inflammation, resolve phlegm, and drain pus (squeeze out pus). In summer, dig up the roots, wash them with water, and air-dry them, then they can be used as medicine. However, Platycodon grandiflorum has a strong medicinal effect and can easily make you feel like vomiting after drinking it. It is best to boil it with licorice and take it as a juice. Add 3 grams of Platycodon grandiflorum root, 2 grams of licorice and 300 grams of water, boil until half the amount, and remove the residue. When drinking, rinse your mouth first and then drink.

Let children do proper physical exercise and outdoor activities regularly, which can effectively enhance their resistance to some diseases. Once the throat is found to have suppuration, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. The diet should be as light as possible, and it is best not to eat irritating foods.
