The maximum that can be allowed is dry heating with a wool scarf around the neck.

Features of treatment of children

If with adults all is more or less clear, and their recovery in most cases is just a matter of time and choosing the right treatment, then the kids are not so unambiguous. Children's immunity is weaker, so treatment in this case should be more intense and sparing at the same time. Consider what methods and methods of treatment are usually used in this case.

In order for the body to cope with the pathogens of inflammation, the doctor prescribes antibacterial and antihistamines. And if earlier all children in such cases were given antibiotics penicillin series, now the choice of drugs is much more extensive. In addition, by the present time, many bacteria have already undergone repeated mutation, and the "outdated" penicillin has ceased to function on them. And the cases of allergic reaction of children to antibiotics with penicillin increased. Therefore, now doctors prescribe more drugs-macrolides.

For example:

• Erythromycin;

Washings also help to cope with the infection well. Special solution under a perceptible head excellently removes pus, microorganisms, plaque from the throat. But it should be noted that the washing procedure itself, when a syringe with a cannula nozzle is inserted into the throat, can be quite painful. Few of the children like it. But after several procedures, the puffiness and symptoms of inflammation will be eliminated.

Surgical intervention

This method is used in the treatment of a child, as in the "adult" case only if there is no other way out. No doctor, if there is a possibility of medicamental cure, will not deprive the child of natural protection of his body from infections. In addition, removing tonsils from children, we must bear in mind that because of the rapid growth of the child's body, his tonsils can grow again. This happens, and often.

And most likely, the "spare" glands will also be prone to infections and inflammations, which is why they need to be removed. Most often, the operation is prescribed for children from five to seven years.

Recommendations

Child with this disease is strongly recommended bed rest. A plentiful warm drink and frequent rinses of the throat are indispensable conditions for quality treatment.

Physical, as well as mental stress on the child during his treatment is unacceptable. The room should have clean, moistened air, however - without drafts.

Care is required for the oral cavity. Cleaning your teeth is a must.

While the child is recovering, he should allocate a separate dish for food so that the infection does not spread to the household.
