How to treat a white scurf on the baby's tonsils

The plaque on the baby's tonsils is different: white, yellow, and even purulent: only a specialist can properly distinguish them. All these kinds of raids sometimes speak about some kind of disease, and sometimes are a symptom of the same infection. In the article, we will consider the features of the plaque on the child's tonsils: what does white, yellow and purulent plaque mean. And also find out how to get rid of this problem.

Description

Usually, the plaque is just a symptomsome disease, and in itself is not a disease. However, it can mean quite a dangerous infection. Most often, tonsillitis occurs in children of kindergarten age, less often in younger schoolchildren.

And the older the child becomes, the less he is susceptible to the appearance of such a symptom.

A little about the tonsils themselves. These are the paired organs located in the throat of a person. They act as a natural barrier to infections, but they perform this function only in children. In adults, immunity is already reaching a new level, and the body does not need tonsil protection. Most often in adults, these organs in general naturally become atrophied.

Tonsils, or as they are called in the people, glands, are very sensitive to weather conditions: cold weather and damp, frosty air can become for them a real calamity. But if the child has normal immunity, then any infection of the tonsils will respond properly, and cope with the disease. But if the level of immunity is lowered, then there is a raid on the glands, which means that the child has a virus in the body.

As a rule, the appearance of a plaque is accompanied by a sore throat, complicated by swallowing and other signs of usual sore throat. However, the plaque can mean not only sore throat, but also other diseases. It is important to immediately show the baby to the doctor for a reliable diagnosis to direct the treatment right from the very beginning. The presence of the plaque clearly demonstrates that an infection has entered the body of the child, and urgent treatment is needed. As a rule, this symptom is seen in the depressions of the tonsils, in the most inaccessible places, where bacteria and microbes are safest to multiply and accumulate.

The sooner the treatment starts, the better. If you do not properly respond to this anxiety symptom, an infection from the glands can go "walk" through the body, leading to much more dangerous and severe complications.

Self-medication is not recommended: this is not the case when you can do with rinsing the weed or inhalation. Most likely, you will need therapy with antibiotics and other potent active medicines. For such treatment, a specialist consultation is necessary.

Do not try and install the color of the plaque yourself: you can easily confuse gray and white, yellow and purulent. In addition, they are all alike to an ignorant person. Only a doctor with special tests and tests will be able to accurately determine what kind of virus the child has been struck with. And as you understand, accurate diagnosis is a pledge of competent and effective treatment.

Sometimes a yellowish shade can have a curdled scurf that appears with thrush. But usually this is a characteristic sign of typical tonsillitis( sore throat).
