Pay attention to the living environment. It is winter now, and children are prone to catching colds and getting tonsillitis. Therefore, the temperature difference between the air-conditioned room and the outside should not be too large, and the temperature should not be adjusted too high. It is best to keep it at 28 degrees Celsius. When you are about to go out, open the door and stand at the door for half a minute before going out. You should also maintain a suitable temperature and humidity in the room, and keep the air fresh and flowing.

Take good care of oral hygiene and develop good living habits. Parents should urge their children to brush their teeth every morning and evening, rinse their mouths with water after meals, and avoid food residues in the mouth. Eat on time, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid partiality for meat, especially fried chicken and fried fish, because these foods are hot foods, and children are prone to "getting angry" after eating, which can cause tonsillitis.

For weak and sickly babies, experts recommend strengthening their body's resistance by exercising more. In the cold season or when the baby has a red face or a slight cough, drinking Isatis root granules as tea can play a preventive role.

Rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening, preferably with a slightly salty taste. In many children's hospitals, there are also mouthwashes specifically for chronic tonsillitis, which are particularly good for preventing the recurrence of chronic tonsillitis.
