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

Tonsillitis and tonsil suppuration are the most typical respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. They may occur in any season and are accompanied by high fever once they occur. This makes many parents very worried, fearing that their children will suffer. But what are the symptoms when a child's throat becomes suppurated? How should it be treated? Let's learn about it with the editor below.

The initial symptoms of tonsillitis are high fever, cough, and runny nose. Before the tonsils become suppurative, the baby's throat will definitely experience redness, swelling and inflammation, and then it will become suppurative. That is to say, if the child is not discovered and treated in time when the disease first occurs, or if there is no symptomatic treatment, it will lead to tonsillitis. After suppuration, the cough and pain will worsen, making the baby unable to eat and crying incessantly. Therefore, we should find ways to suppress the disease and try not to let the baby's tonsils develop to the point of suppuration.

If your baby's tonsils are really festering, don't worry too much. Since it is a common disease, there are naturally many ways to deal with it. First of all, we need to find out the cause of the disease, that is, distinguish whether it is a viral infection, a bacterial infection, or a mycoplasma infection, because we use different medications for the three. The way to distinguish them is to do a blood test, and we can distinguish them through differences in white blood cells and other data. We can do blood tests in community hospitals, because children's hospitals are generally overcrowded and prone to cross-infection. After knowing the results, you can use symptomatic medication.

During the baby's illness, his throat will be extremely painful. Drinking water, milk, and eating will all be extremely painful. Crying is normal. Parents should be patient in caring for the child and try not to feed the child irritating food. Milk, water, and porridge should not be too hot or too cold, otherwise it will irritate the child's throat and cause severe pain. The baby should eat more pears that can clear the lungs. Eating pears can relieve cough and reduce phlegm, which is helpful for the recovery of tonsil suppuration.

The above article gives some suggestions on what to do if your tonsils are festering. Now everyone should be clear that throat festering has a great impact on children. Parents must pay attention to changes in their children's bodies. Normally, they must let their children drink plenty of water, avoid talking loudly, pay attention to climate changes, and add clothes in time.
