Should tonsil cysts be removed

If the tonsil cyst is relatively small and asymptomatic, it can be treated without surgery for the time being; if the cyst is larger and the symptoms are obvious, it needs to be treated with surgical removal. Most of the tonsil cysts are caused by the obstruction of the mucous glands on the surface of the tonsils, which triggers the accumulation of secretions and produces cyst-like neoplasm. The surface of the cyst is smooth and yellow in color, triggering the phenomenon of foreign body sensation in the throat. Tonsil cysts are relatively small, most do not have obvious symptoms, clinically can temporarily do not need to carry out surgical treatment, you can outpatient follow-up observation, usually pay attention to avoid eating spicy and irritating food, so as not to induce inflammation of the tonsil tissue, accelerate the tonsil cysts to increase in size. Tonsil cysts are relatively large and may cause a persistent foreign body sensation in the throat or lead to recurrent episodes of chronic tonsillitis. Surgical removal of the cysts can be selected after evaluation by a specialist and, if necessary, the cysts can be removed along with the diseased tonsil tissue.
