What to do if one side of the tonsil is swollen

It is a common phenomenon that tonsils can be swollen due to improper diet or endocrine disorders. If it is just swelling and pain, it will not have much impact. You just need to pay attention to a light diet and not smoke or drink. It will heal on its own after a while.

Adenoids is a condition in which the pharyngeal tonsils are abnormally enlarged. The pharyngeal tonsils are physiological tissues that grow in the back of the human throat (the tube that connects the oral cavity, nasal cavity, esophagus and throat). This physiological tissue is called lymphatic tissue (adenoid

tissue). Tonsils are collections of lymphoid tissue in the pharynx. The "tonsils" generally referred to are the palatine tonsils, which are the largest of the lymphoid tissues gathered in the pharynx.

Daily care for swollen tonsils:

1. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, have a bowel movement, eat liquid or soft food, and pay attention to early infusion treatment when throat pain is obvious to prevent the spread of infection.

2. Children with tonsils should be given a liquid diet, eat less irritating food, eat more light food, and rinse their mouths after each meal.

3. When the disease recurs or is accompanied by corresponding symptoms, an electrocardiogram, urine or anti-O test can be performed during an acute attack to rule out the possibility of complications such as nephritis, myocarditis, arthritis, etc.

4. Pay attention to oral hygiene and drink more boiled water or fruit juice to replenish water in the body.

5. Patients with chronic tonsillitis should develop good living habits, ensure adequate sleep time, add or remove clothes in time with weather changes, and remove humid air indoors. These are all important. Sick children should develop good habits of not being picky about food and not overeating.

6. Keep exercising to improve the body's ability to resist disease. Do not overwork. If you feel tired, you should adjust and rest in time. Quitting smoking and drinking is an important step in preventing chronic tonsillitis.

7. Prevent all kinds of infectious diseases and epidemics, eat liquid or semi-liquid food, and use alcohol bath for those with high fever to help reduce the temperature.

8. Pay attention to improving dietary nutrition, strengthening physical fitness and improving body resistance.

Sometimes tonsillitis is a sign of detoxification. At this time, you only need to pay attention to your oral hygiene, not smoke or drink, not eat spicy and other irritating foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Even if you don’t use medication, it will subside on its own after a period of time. However, if other symptoms appear, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.
