In the more than 20 years of pediatric diagnosis and treatment, I have always adhered to the principle of treating children from simple to complex, and pursued the principle of "less but better" for children's treatment methods.
When dealing with children with tonsil inflammation, I always stick to my bottom line, which is to solve the problem through dietary therapy as much as possible, so as to avoid overuse of drugs and maintain the children's health.
Especially for younger children, I would like to encourage drinking plenty of warm water and eating plenty of fresh leafy greens to relieve the discomfort caused by inflammation. If I meet a child who is seriously ill, I try to reduce the burden on the throat area and relieve the pain by feeding them liquid food.
Of course, treatment options for tonsil inflammation are not set in stone. Parents should also actively cooperate to help children develop good hygiene Xi, pay attention to the prevention of colds and infectious diseases, and effectively prevent tonsil inflammation.
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates the use of topical tonsillar compresses as a treatment for tonsillitis. In the "Human Chronicle", a simple internal regulation method for the prevention of tonsillitis is introduced. Put the prunella and the raw eggs in the shell in a pot, add two bowls of water, boil into one bowl, then eat the eggs and drink the water as well.
Prunella vulgaris is a kind of plant that clears away heat and fire, brightens the eyes, disperses knots and reduces swelling, and eggs have the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, nourishing blood and stabilizing the fetus, detoxifying and relieving itching. Drinking a bowl of boiled eggs with prunella every day can help prevent tonsillitis in your child.
In addition, in clinical practice, I have also found a relatively effective treatment. That is, the use of astragalus, bellflower and hawthorn and other medicinal herbs, with licorice and mint and other ingredients, together to cook into a Chinese medicine soup for children to drink, can also play a certain therapeutic role.
Astragalus membranaceus has the effects of invigorating qi and solidifying the surface, diluting water and reducing swelling, supporting toxins and draining pus, and building muscles, while bellflower has the effects of promoting lung expectoration, relieving pharynx and draining pus, etc., and hawthorn has the effects of eliminating food and accumulation, activating blood and removing stasis, which can play a good therapeutic effect when matched together.
These herbs and ingredients are common, and parents can make them themselves at home, which is convenient and affordable. However, it should be noted that children's constitutions and conditions are different, so it is best to consult a doctor before giving your child herbal decoction to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the inflammation of the tonsils in children is mostly related to heat, because the heat accumulated in the body goes up to fumigate the throat, which leads to repeated inflammation of the tonsils, how to solve this problem at the source?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if you want to completely cure it, it is the key to regulate the spleen and stomach! By warming and replenishing the spleen and stomach, clearing away heat and reducing swelling, and restoring the transportation function of the spleen and stomach, the child's food accumulation situation will be improved, the heat accumulation in the body will disappear, and the physique will naturally become stronger, so the possibility of getting sick will be greatly reduced, including cold and fever.
Parents can use traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as the use of moxibustion combined with traditional Chinese medicine to treat rhinitis, and the treatment of tonsillitis and pharyngitis with special Chinese medicine nebulization.
These methods not only avoid the drug resistance and side effects caused by long-term use of Western medicine, but also help to improve the child's physical fitness. Therefore, the method of regulating the spleen and stomach, combined with the method of external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, is undoubtedly a very effective method for the problem of tonsil inflammation in children.
Although Prunella vulgaris is very good, parents should not rely too much on it, and if the child's illness is very serious, it should still be guided by a doctor.
