To make children’s tonsils smaller, we need to analyze the treatment plan by combining the specific size of the tonsils, whether there is any combined inflammation and infection, and the clinical symptoms of the child.
1.Physiological tonsil hypertrophy:Tonsils as lymphatic tissue, has a certain immune function. Children’s tonsils during the age of 4 to 10 years, in order to provide children with enough lymphocytes may appear physiological hyperplasia and hypertrophy, with the increase in children’s age, the improvement of their own immune function, it is possible that after 11 years of age, the tonsils will gradually atrophy on their own.
2. Pathological tonsil hypertrophy: the most common is acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis.
Acute tonsillitis: acute non-specific inflammation of the palatine tonsils. Type B hemolytic streptococcus is the main causative agent of this disease. Pharyngeal mucosa acute congestion, tonsil enlargement, the surface may have pus moss. It may be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills and fever. Preferred penicillin antibiotic anti-infection treatment; discretionary application of glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone; compound borax solution and other gargles.
Chronic tonsillitis, due to bacterial infection stimulation tonsils long-term inflammatory condition, can not shrink by itself, and may even gradually increase in size. Meanwhile, repeated inflammation of tonsils may also induce chronic nephritis, endocarditis, arthritis and other immune system diseases. In this case, only surgical removal of tonsil tissue can cure.
