How to prevent purulent tonsillitis in children?

Purulent tonsillitis is one of the common diseases in children. It is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by bacterial infection. Since children's disease resistance and immunity are weaker than those of adults, they are very likely to suffer from infectious diseases such as pediatric purulent tonsillitis. Therefore, it is very important to prevent the occurrence of purulent tonsillitis in children. Here are some brief introductions to some effective measures to prevent purulent tonsillitis in children.

1. Pay attention to keeping your child at a suitable temperature. It is best not to wear too many clothes. Wearing too many clothes will cause excessive sweating, which will make it easier for your child to catch a cold.

2. After children sweat during activities, they should take off their wet clothes in time. After sweating, the pores will expand, and the cold air will enter the body more easily.

3. Children’s illness must be cured at one time, otherwise high fever can easily cause infection, causing the child to suffer from pediatric purulent tonsillitis.

4. Eat a balanced diet and enhance nutrition. Children's diet must be nutritionally balanced and in reasonable proportions. In particular, it is important to help children get rid of the bad habit of eating snacks. Most snacks have little nutritional value and will cause children to not eat well, leading to nutritional imbalance.

5. Cultivate good living habits for children. Make sure your child can take good care of himself or herself, know when to add or remove clothing, and eat well. This will minimize the chance of catching a cold and ensure a balanced intake of nutrition.

6. Drinking tea in daily life can not only prevent and improve tonsillitis, but also regulate the balance of human body mechanisms, enhance human resistance, and greatly reduce the recurrence rate of the disease. Herbs like honeysuckle, angelica sinensis, Chinese oak grass, and Sterculia lychnophora have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and relieving cough, and can effectively relieve tonsillitis.

If a child has symptoms of purulent tonsillitis, care should be provided as follows.

Children should rest in bed. The indoor temperature should not be too high so that they do not feel cold. A basin of water should be placed on the stove and some water should be sprinkled on the ground to maintain a certain humidity in the air to keep the nasopharynx of the sick child moist. While keeping warm, open doors and windows regularly for ventilation, but prevent cold wind from blowing directly on the child's body. Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors to keep the indoor air fresh and reduce throat irritation. This kind of simple care in the early stages is also a way to prevent it in advance.

The main manifestation of purulent tonsillitis in children is tonsil suppuration: sore throat, especially when swallowing; most children have symptoms of persistent high fever. Because tonsillitis is difficult to cure and children's immunity is relatively low, once you find that your child has a high fever that won't go away, you must be vigilant and take him to a regular professional hospital for diagnosis in time.
