Treatment of tonsillitis in children

Tonsillitis, more people call it pharyngitis. Because it is on the throat, and many people have this disease, and it is like a cold, a common disease that cannot be cured, so it recurs in people's lives. This type of disease often occurs not only in adults but also in children. However, as far as I know, young children seem to have an even higher chance of suffering from tonsillitis, because their resistance is not as good as ours, and their recovery ability is definitely much worse. Therefore, after a young child suffers from tonsillitis, especially chronic tonsillitis, it is very difficult to cure, and it can be said to be a long and lasting process. So parents need to pay more attention.

Common treatments for tonsillitis

1. Antibiotic treatment

Antibiotics are fast-acting in treating acute tonsillitis and can quickly control acute symptoms, but symptoms are prone to recurrence. Repeated use of antibiotics can easily lead to drug resistance, damage liver and kidney function, reduce immunity, and destroy the body's normal flora.

2. Application of lozenges

Lozenges have a good taste and are easily accepted by patients. However, if lozenges are taken frequently, (1) the bacteria may develop drug resistance; and (2) they may damage normal oral bacteria, causing an imbalance in the normal oral flora and leading to other oral diseases.

3. Tonsillectomy

As people become more aware of the importance of tonsils as an immune organ, modern medicine does not advocate the easy removal of tonsils. If they are removed, the respiratory barrier will be lost and the entire immune system of the human body will be affected. However, surgical treatment is not ruled out for children with concurrent serious systemic diseases.

4. Local external treatment

There are many methods for local treatment of tonsils, including tonsillar crypt washing, intra-tonsillar drug injection, local cautery, local spraying, laser treatment, etc. Although these methods can inhibit bacteria and clear lesions, they are relatively painful. Among the local external treatment methods, Chinese medicine external plaster therapy is more popular among children.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine remedies

The Biantao Kangcheyu combination throat patch has good healing effect, is safe, has no side effects, and can cure the disease completely.

Notes for patients with tonsillitis

Strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness.

Add or remove clothes in time according to climate changes to prevent catching cold.

Maintain good indoor and outdoor hygiene, keep indoor air circulating, and reduce dust and chemical pollution in the air.

Causes

1: The pathogen is transmitted through droplets, direct contact, etc., and is usually hidden in the tonsil pits. When the body's resistance is weakened, the pathogen multiplies rapidly, which is the main cause of tonsillitis. The inflammation starts in the tonsils and then spreads throughout the tonsils. In acute inflammation, the tonsil parenchyma is congested and infiltrated with polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and yellow-white spots can be seen on the mucosal surface.

2: It is understood that tonsillitis is a disease in which the pharyngeal tonsils undergo acute or chronic inflammation. It is a common disease in childhood. Modern medicine believes that tonsils are the two largest lymphoid tissues in the human pharynx. They usually grow larger after the age of 4 to 5 and begin to shrink gradually after the age of 12. Under normal circumstances, tonsils can resist bacteria entering the nose and pharynx, thus protecting the human body. However, children have low body resistance and catch a cold, which weakens the ability of their tonsils to resist bacteria. This can lead to bacteria from the pharynx, mouth, nasal cavity, and the outside world invading the tonsils and causing inflammation.

3. In severe cases, the tonsils become red, swollen and fester, forming purulent tonsillitis. If not cured for a long time, it may turn into chronic tonsillitis, which can easily cause nephritis and heart disease. Systemic diseases such as rheumatism, pigeon chest and funnel chest. It seriously affects the patient's future life, so it must be treated early.

Tonsillitis can cause various complications, such as otitis media, sinusitis, rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, rheumatic heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, leading to serious damage to the heart, kidneys, joints and other aspects.
