What are the causes of tonsillitis in children? What are the tips for preventing tonsillitis?

Tonsils are the gateway to the respiratory tract. In childhood, tonsils are an active immune organ that contains lymphocytes and immune cells that can inhibit and eliminate pathogenic bacteria and viruses that enter from the mouth and nose. So, what are the causes of tonsillitis in children?

Causes of Tonsillitis in Children:

1. Because children's organs are not yet mature and their immunity is low, they are easily invaded by bacteria. Tonsils are the gateway to the respiratory tract, and oral and nasal bacteria and viruses invade them.

2. The tonsillar fossa is prone to the accumulation of bacteria and metabolites. It is a place that easily accumulates bacteria and metabolites and is a place that harbors dirt and filth.

3. The epithelium of the tonsillar fossa is sparse, and migratory cells such as lymphocytes are often seen in the interstitium, forming a "fine network of fossa epithelium", which becomes the place where the body fights against pathogens and toxins.

4. Tonsils have many deep pits. For example, in case of tonsillitis, pathogens hide deep and it is easy to form lesions. Whether it is oral medication or intravenous medication, the effect is not direct and the lesions cannot be completely removed. In addition, children's immune system is not perfect, so they are easily attacked and attacked repeatedly by pathogens.

If our parents want to prevent their children's tonsils from getting inflamed, they should do the following:

First of all, take care of oral hygiene and develop good living habits. Parents should urge their children to brush their teeth every morning and evening, rinse their mouths with water after meals to avoid food residues. Eat on time, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, don't eat part of the meat, especially don't eat too much fried chicken and fried fish, because these foods are easy to eat "getting angry" and tonsillitis.

For infants with chronic tonsil hypertrophy, in addition to the above measures, additional protective measures should be strengthened. Rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening, which feels a little salty. In many children's hospitals, there are also mouthwashes specifically for chronic tonsillitis, which are particularly helpful in preventing the recurrence of chronic tonsillitis.

In daily life, we should pay more attention to weather changes, add or remove clothes for children in time, and prevent children from stepping on quilts and catching colds when sleeping at night. At the same time, we should maintain appropriate temperature and humidity in the room, pay attention to room hygiene and air circulation, and reduce dust and bacteria in the air.
