Tonsillitis is a common disease, which is usually caused by bacterial infection of the tonsils due to cold or inflammation. Generally, inflammation is treated by taking anti-inflammatory drugs or intravenous injection. But for babies, their own resistance is relatively weak. You should also be extra careful when taking medicine or receiving intravenous drips to avoid causing other harm to the baby's body. Therefore, the treatment of baby's tonsils is somewhat different from that of adults. Please learn about it as follows. 1. ① Acute tonsillitis is mostly caused by bacterial infection, especially pyogenic bacteria such as streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus, so antibiotics must be used. Among them, penicillin is the most effective. Oral or intravenous injection can be selected according to the severity of the inflammation. ② Strengthen exercise, especially in winter, and participate in more outdoor activities to enhance the body's ability to adapt to the cold and reduce the chance of tonsillitis. ③Keep your mouth clean and rinse your mouth after eating. ④ Tonsils are generally largest between the ages of 3 and 10 and gradually shrink after the age of 10. Therefore, tonsillitis in childhood is the focus of prevention. ⑤ Chronic tonsillitis or enlarged tonsils can be treated with tonsillectomy. 2. Generally, after giving your child the same anti-inflammatory medicine for 3 days, you should touch the lymph nodes under the child's neck and then look at the child's tonsils. If the child does not feel pain when touching the lymph nodes under the neck, and the tonsils are getting smaller or the congestion is significantly reduced, you can stop taking the anti-inflammatory drugs and instead use Chinese patent medicines for clearing heat and detoxification, such as Children's Tonsil Throat Granules and Qingrejiedu Oral Liquid. It only takes 3 to 5 days to take it, which can not only reduce the side effects of western medicine, but also consolidate the efficacy of the medicine. 3. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils. Clinically, it is divided into acute and chronic types, with the main symptoms being sore throat, fever and discomfort in the throat. This disease can cause local or systemic complications in the ears, nose, heart, kidneys, joints, etc., so it should be taken seriously. The pathogens of tonsillitis are mainly hemolytic streptococci, and others such as staphylococci, pneumococci, influenza bacilli and viruses can also cause it. Erythromycin ethylsuccinate (Lijunza) is a macrolide antibiotic, which is more stable than erythromycin in gastric acid and is not easily destroyed by gastric acid, so it can fully exert its efficacy. 4. You can choose drug treatment: Traditional drug treatment for acute tonsillitis generally uses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. The disadvantage of this local treatment method is that it only reduces inflammation but cannot eliminate the bacteria in the tonsillar crypts. Once the body's resistance is reduced, it is very easy to relapse, and chronic lesions will form over time. 5. Generally, when children have tonsillitis, they are treated with antibiotics, such as cephalexin granules, cefuroxime granules and other drugs. These anti-inflammatory drugs have relatively large side effects on the baby's liver and kidneys. You can try to use other drugs to treat the disease. For example, using Chinese patent medicine, such as Children's Pharyngeal Granules, this medicine has a good effect on children's cough, fever, chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc. It has a better effect on inflammation caused by respiratory tract infections, and the side effects are not as great as the use of antibiotics. Moreover, Chinese patent medicine can cure the root cause, and the disease is unlikely to recur. |
