Baby throat ulcer fever

If the baby has throat ulcers and fever, then the baby is most likely suffering from tonsillitis. The impact of tonsillitis on children's health cannot be underestimated. Therefore, when the symptoms of tonsillitis appear in the early stages, parents should take their children to the doctor for treatment in time. In addition, some effective methods should be taken to prevent tonsillitis.

1. Why are tonsils prone to inflammation?

The baby's immune function is not yet perfect, and the immune system usually matures around the age of 12.

Tonsils are the gateway to the respiratory tract, and bacteria and viruses from the mouth and nose are the first to invade them. The pathogens of tonsillitis are hidden deep and easily form lesions. The treatment effect is not direct, and the lesions often cannot be completely eliminated, leaving hidden dangers.

Tonsils are a place where dirt and filth accumulate, and they are prone to repeated infections once lesions form.

2. What are the main symptoms of tonsillitis?

The main symptoms of tonsillitis are sore throat, accompanied by fever, chills, headache and other symptoms. Some children may develop otitis media due to tonsillitis, which can cause pain in the area behind the ear.

From a Western medical perspective, the cause of tonsillitis is local inflammation caused by bacteria and viruses. Because the tonsils are developing in childhood, they are an immune organ and will engage in local battles between good and evil, that is, fighting with viruses or bacteria, and the tonsils become swollen.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, there are two reasons: first, there is heat and damp heat in the spleen and lungs that evaporate upwards; second, the lungs are affected by wind and heat. Wind-heat evil is common. Once these two internal and external factors are combined, problems with the tonsils are likely to occur.

3. How to prevent tonsillitis

1. Open windows frequently to ventilate and keep the indoor air fresh. Avoid smoking indoors to reduce irritation to your baby's throat.

2. Help your baby develop good hygiene habits, such as washing hands before meals and after defecation, and cutting nails frequently.

3. Encourage your baby to go outdoors more often, exercise, and improve his or her own resistance.

4. Add or remove appropriate clothing and quilts for the baby to ensure good sleep and nutrition.
