Enlarged tonsils in children are sometimes a normal physiological phenomenon. If the enlargement does not affect breathing and swallowing, and does not cause serious clinical manifestations, they should not be removed.

Go to the hospital for consultation and choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of the doctor.

Diet therapy for swollen tonsils:

1. Inflammation caused by active bacteria in the tonsils of the upper jaw is called tonsillitis. The causes of tonsillitis are nothing more than colds, excessive fatigue, seasonal changes and poor physical condition. Symptoms of tonsillitis are sore throat and fever. Its characteristic is that it is easy to change. The symptoms are relatively stable, but when you are tired, you will have a sore throat and fever. Sometimes, complications such as otitis media or nephritis may also occur. If severe pain persists for 2-3 days without the fever going away, it is best to seek medical attention. Fever consumes your physical energy. The most important thing at home is to stay quiet and warm. Do not add burden to your throat and keep it clear. Eat more foods with high nutritional value to supplement your nutrition. In the dry winter, it is especially important to gargle regularly to prevent colds and avoid fatigue.

2. When you feel an abnormal sensation in your throat, you can eat kumquats. Compared with other sour fruits, the kumquat peel is quite sweet, and it is common to eat it whole without peeling it. Kumquat peel is rich in nutrients, contains vitamin C and calcium, and can help eliminate sore throats. The fruit contains vitamins A, B1, B2, C and calcium. If it tastes sour when eaten raw, you can add rock sugar or honey to boil the juice to make it sweeter. Adding water to the boiled juice and drinking it is also effective. Kumquat leaves also have medicinal effects. Boiling them into juice and drinking it has a good effect.

3. You can eat pears when you have a fever and 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.

4. Ginger is effective both as a decoction and as medicine. Ginger has been used as both food and medicine since ancient times. The rhizome of old ginger has medicinal effects. In addition to its sweating, antipyretic and warming effects, it can also eliminate inflammation and resolve phlegm. Adding tangerine peel (dried orange peel) to ginger soup will have a better effect. Add 5 grams each of ginger and tangerine peel, a little sugar, and 400 grams of water, boil it into 1/3 of the volume, and you can drink it. Drink it while hot and then rest to double the effect.

5. Licorice for sore throat. Licorice root decoction is effective in treating inflammation and pain. It is also effective for tonsillitis or sudden severe throat pain. Add 6 grams of licorice to 400 grams of water and boil it until it is reduced to half the amount. Remove the residue and divide it into 3 equal parts. Hold a small amount in your mouth each time, rinse your mouth first, and then swallow it slowly.

6. Citrus aurantium can clear throat festering. The root of Platycodon grandiflorum has medicinal effects, and can reduce inflammation, resolve phlegm, and discharge 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.

7. Pomegranate can be used as a mouthwash. Pomegranate decoction can cure sore throat. Cut a pomegranate into appropriate sizes and boil it with 400 grams of water. After boiling, cook for about 30 minutes. The decoction can be used for gargling. The most medicinal part of pomegranate is its skin, so you can also only fry the dried pomegranate skin, which will have a better effect. Pomegranate leaves can also be used for medicinal purposes, with the same effect. Add 400 grams of water to palm-sized leaves and cook over low heat until half the amount is reduced. Remove the residue and use it as a mouthwash.
