Tips for treating tonsillitis in babies. Should they be removed?

Question 1: My daughter is four years and seven months old. Since she was over one year old, her tonsils have been inflamed frequently and repeatedly. She can be cured by taking medicine. In the past six months, I have developed purulent inflammation, and taking medicine no longer works. I have to stay in the water for three days each time, and then take medicine for another three days. But within half a month, I had a high fever and pus. The local pediatrician recommended surgery. I would like to ask if surgery is possible? In addition, the child has always had his mouth open since he was a child and snores when sleeping. Is this related to tonsils? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: For those who have obvious symptoms of snoring, mouth breathing, or even sleep apnea, surgical resection is generally recommended. Snoring is caused by chronic lack of oxygen in the brain. Snoring while sleeping may be caused by adenoid hypertrophy. In this case, surgical removal of adenoids and tonsils is recommended. Medical treatments all have side effects. At present, the side effects outweigh the effects. Although adenoids and tonsils are useful, this kind of repeated illness affects the development of children, so it is recommended to remove them. Question 2: My baby is one year and 8 months old. He has been grinding his teeth at night recently. Doctor, what is going on? Dr. Wang Yanli answers: Teeth grinding is commonly caused by mental stress, teething, or misaligned teeth. Try not to disturb the child, ensure that the child gets enough sleep, and do not make the child tired from playing too much. Question 3: I am four and a half months pregnant and suddenly develop chickenpox. Will it affect the baby? I don’t take any medicine, and I don’t have too much chickenpox. Is there a high chance that it will be bad for my child? Dr. Zhang Yanyan answered: Chickenpox is a viral infection. Viral infection has the greatest impact on the fetus in the first three months of pregnancy. You are now more than three months old, but it cannot be said that there is no impact. The specific impact is hard to say. If you want this child, it is best to It is best to wait until the chickenpox is gone and do an amniocentesis test.
