Because children have relatively low resistance, they are very susceptible to viral infection, which can cause the disease of tertiary tonsil hypertrophy in children. When children suffer from this disease, the impact on them is relatively large. Difficulty in swallowing and sore throat may occur, which will affect children's eating and further affect their physical development. Therefore, it is necessary to take timely measures to deal with it. So here is what to do if children's tonsils are enlarged to the third degree? Tonsillitis is usually treated with a combination of etiological treatment and symptomatic treatment, and the treatment time is usually 7 to 10 days. The doctor will first check whether the cause of the child's tonsillitis is caused by viruses or bacteria. If it is caused by viruses, the doctor will use antiviral drugs for treatment; if it is a bacterial infection (the most common is streptococcal infection), penicillin, cephalosporin, erythromycin and other antibacterial drugs are usually used for treatment. In the past, some parents liked to take medicine at home, thinking that as long as antibiotics were used, they would have an immediate effect, but they did not know that this might be counterproductive. Without a prescription, antibiotics cannot be purchased at the pharmacy, but parents must be careful to keep and use the "stock" at home. Symptomatic treatment is mainly aimed at the uncomfortable symptoms of tonsillitis, including fever reduction, sore throat relief, etc. It is generally recommended that parents let their children drink more water and gargle with salt water during illness. There is no special method to prevent tonsillitis. The key is to let children exercise, strengthen their physical fitness, pay attention to the temperature of clothes, avoid cold, and make them less likely to catch a cold. When children's tonsils are mildly inflamed, some lozenges can be used. Faced with children's repeated tonsillitis, many parents will ask whether they should remove the tonsils once and for all? In fact, everyone's situation is different. Parents should not remove the tonsils for their children without principles, nor should they be conservative. While listening to the doctor's advice, they should also distinguish between its indications and contraindications. Several common situations of "picking": Chronic tonsillitis often recurs, with inflammation occurring more than 4 to 5 times a year. Each time the inflammation occurs, the systemic symptoms are severe, including high fever, sore throat, swollen and congested tonsils, pus spots on the surface, and swollen submandibular lymph nodes. The excessive enlargement of tonsils has affected breathing and sleep. Even if the excessively enlarged tonsils are not inflamed, they have blocked the pharynx, causing the child to eat very slowly, breathe heavily when quiet, and gasp for breath when moving a little. After falling asleep at night, he snores, breathes with his mouth open, feels suffocated, and sometimes even has respiratory arrest. Unexplained long-term low-grade fever, chronic inflammation of the tonsils themselves, can be removed when other medical diseases are excluded. |
