Treatment of enlarged tonsils in children

The reason why children are prone to enlarged tonsils is because their body immunity is relatively weak, and they drink too much hot water in their daily lives. Therefore, we recommend that you should know the treatment methods for children's enlarged tonsils in your life. When a child's tonsils become enlarged, don't worry. Just listen to the doctor's advice and choose the treatment method.

Enlarged tonsils in children mean that they often have fever, and most parents will become very nervous when the topic of fever is mentioned. In this case, the doctor is usually strongly requested to prescribe antipyretics or intravenous drips, or even anti-inflammatory drugs. Experienced parents will find that sometimes antipyretic injections or antipyretic medicines do not reduce the fever. According to modern medical textbooks, enlarged tonsils require surgical treatment and removal. As for the sequelae, there is no mention.

Children's enlarged tonsils are generally treated with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, but a flaw in this treatment method is that it only reduces inflammation but cannot eliminate the bacteria in the tonsillar crypts. Once the body's resistance is reduced (such as colds, chills, etc.), it is very easy to relapse, and over time, chronic lesions will form. Therefore, you can consider performing low-temperature ablation surgery to preserve the tonsils on your child. This surgery is minimally invasive, less painful, and thorough, and there is generally no recurrence.

It all depends on whether the virus or bacteria is getting stronger. First, your child's doctor will examine him or her to determine if the sore throat is caused by bacteria. If the infection is caused by streptococci, antibiotics may be needed. If it is not caused by a bacterial infection, then it is most likely caused by a virus. In this case, the only treatment is to make the child feel as comfortable as possible, as there is no specific medicine available.

Many mothers think that children with enlarged tonsils need to undergo surgery to remove the tonsils. In fact, it is not that troublesome. As long as we give the children some cold water to drink, the problem can be relieved. Although enlarged tonsils in children may cause snoring at night, surgical removal can easily cause tonsil infection.
