In daily life, both adults and children will experience sore throats, and some friends even have tonsillitis. In fact, in medicine, the treatment for such diseases is often drug therapy, but considering that some children are superstitious about drugs, other methods can be considered. So, what is the massage method for children with sore throat?

How to massage a child with sore throat

For fever caused by diseases such as tonsillitis, according to the principle of traditional Chinese medicine of "treating the symptoms of acute diseases and treating the root cause of chronic diseases", the top priority is generally to reduce the fever first and treat the tonsillitis at the same time. If tonsillitis is not controlled, the fever will recur. When the "evil spirit" is strong, the child will also show high fever that is not easy to reduce.

For tonsillitis caused by repeated infections and fever, the Western medical treatment is to directly remove the tonsils. In the short term, the tonsils will indeed stop inflaming after being removed. However, the next time the child catches a cold, the barrier against viruses and bacteria is gone, and the bacteria will often penetrate directly into the trachea and lungs, causing bronchitis and pneumonia.

For fever caused by this type of disease, treat the symptoms in acute cases and the root cause in chronic cases. Therefore, the top priority is usually to reduce the fever first, and then follow up with the treatment of tonsillitis. Otherwise, the fever is likely to recur, and the child's tonsils will become swollen after several times. This will lay a huge hidden danger in the future. Once infected, it will easily cause acute suppurative tonsillitis. Some parents are not tired of it, and many Western doctors are irresponsible, so they often remove the tonsils, which are the line of defense of the human respiratory tract. Many parents have told me that after their tonsils were removed, they would no longer be inflamed, but the next time their children caught a cold, they would go straight to bronchitis or pneumonia with basically no symptoms. It turns out that there is a barrier after all that can block the invasion of the virus. Therefore, tonsils are important immune organs and participate in the overall activities of the human immune system. Therefore, it is not recommended to remove tonsils easily.

Massage techniques are also very effective in treating tonsillitis in children, and are easy for children to accept.
