It is possible to ache with a tonsillitis not only in the winter, but also in off-season. Most often children suffer from this illness. If the child has a tonsillitis seldom and has it rather easily, it is possible to cope at the first symptoms with the illness independently, without seeing a doctor.
The easiest way of treatment of a tonsillitis – rinsing by means of which the throat is cleaned from viruses and bacteria. As components for solution it is possible to use potassium permanganate, Furacilin or chlorhexidin. It is necessary to consider that solutions have to be very weak. Broths and infusions of a linden, calendula, sage or camomile best of all will be suitable for kids. Each procedure is carried out after a meal and repeats in 3 hours.
During a tonsillitis it is necessary to drink much. Drink not only washes away harmful organisms from mucous in a stomach where they are disinfected at the expense of gastric juice, but also helps to bring toxins and hazardous substances out of an organism. It is possible to drink cowberry or cranberry drinks, water, tea with raspberry or honey, warm milk with addition of butter.
One more assistant in fight against a tonsillitis – an inhaler. This device helps to get rid of pain, inflammation and hypostasis. For inhalations it is possible to use various essential oils – a sage, an eucalyptus, mint, lavenders or firs. Procedures can be carried out only if body temperature does not exceed 37.5C!
It is possible to use sprays, tablets for resorption or lollipops which are on sale in pharmacies. They will help to cope with a tonsillitis at the expense of anti-septic tanks and anti-inflammatory components which are their part. But without consultation of the doctor it is not recommended to resort to this method of treatment as they suit not all children. It is necessary to revise the menu of the child, having excluded from it the rough food injuring a throat. Food has to be warm, without seasonings and spices. Independently it is possible to treat the child only when tonsillitis symptoms only just appeared. If in 2 days the condition of the kid does not improve, it is necessary to see a doctor to exclude any bacterial infection which can develop into streptococcal tonsillitis.
