What should I do if my child’s tonsils are red and swollen?

Tonsillitis in children is an inflammation of the tonsils. Its main symptoms include sore throat, fever, throat discomfort and other adverse conditions. When children have tonsillitis, we must pay more attention to conditioning, especially diet. The following is some content compiled by the editor about which fruits are good for children to eat when their tonsils are inflamed? For your reference.

1. Cherry: sweet and sour in taste, warm in nature, has the effects of nourishing blood, nourishing the skin, warming the spleen and stomach. Modern research shows that cherries are rich in iron, citric acid and vitamin C, and are a good fruit for replenishing blood. It ripens before all other fruits and is known as "the first branch of spring fruit". It can strengthen the spleen and stomach function and enhance the immune system for patients with pharyngitis.

2. Loquat: The whole part of loquat can be used as medicine, and the fruit can moisten the lungs and promote diuresis, clear away heat and strengthen the spleen, and has a good effect on maintaining the liver. Rich in vitamin C, it can resist ascorbic acid. Loquat can relieve cough, moisten the lungs, promote diuresis, strengthen the stomach, and clear away heat. It has a moisturizing effect on patients with chronic pharyngitis. It is an important nutritious and health-care fruit for people in early summer. However, people with vitiligo should avoid eating it because vitamin C can prevent the deposition of melanin.

3. Sugarcane: Sugarcane is sweet, flat and non-toxic. It can calm the stomach and relieve qi, help spleen function, benefit the large intestine, eliminate phlegm and quench thirst, relieve heart and chest irritability and heat, and detoxify. Sugarcane can relieve heat, relieve fever and quench thirst, harmonize the middle and wide diaphragm, promote fluid production and moisten dryness, help the spleen and stomach, promote diuresis, and nourish. It can be used for dry mouth, lack of body fluid, difficulty urinating, constipation, nausea and vomiting, indigestion, fever and thirst. Drinking sugarcane juice raw is sweet and cold in nature. It is suitable for treating heat diseases that damage body fluids, irritability and thirst, fever and red urine, and dry coughs. For heat diseases, drinking raw sugarcane juice is the best, which is called [Tiansheng Fumai Decoction]. Patients with pharyngitis can eat both raw and cooked food. Cooked sugarcane juice has a tonic effect on patients with pharyngitis.

Well, after listening to the editor’s introduction, I believe that most parents should have some understanding of red and swollen tonsils. When children have tonsillitis, they must drink more water and eat more fruits. If you don’t pay more attention to the child’s conditioning in normal times, it will easily worsen the tonsils. Therefore, mothers must pay more attention to the care of their children in normal times. The editor sincerely hopes that the child will recover soon.
