After tonsil and adenoids plasma surgery, especially after discharge, there will be some late problems, which are introduced to you here: 1. Sore throat: If there is no analgesic pump to help with pain relief, the child will start to feel pain the day after surgery, especially when swallowing saliva, which is due to the pain generated by the movement of the oral muscles pulling on the trauma. This pain is largely tolerated by the child and will gradually resolve with small amounts of water and food. Everyone has a different level of pain tolerance, with some children acting out in pain and others playing as if nothing is wrong. Sore throat usually rarely lasts more than a week and usually does not require medication; however, if the pain is severe, you can take some painkillers (such as Merlin).
2, neck pain: Some children will say that their neck hurts, especially when they lean back, and more serious neck dare not turn, or even crooked to the side. This is because the adenoids are close to the muscles in front of the cervical spine (cephalicus longus), and the inflammatory response after surgery can cause the muscles to spasm, causing pain and impaired movement. This symptom usually lasts no more than two weeks. The best way to deal with it is to take some painkillers (Merlin), just like the “pillow”, will slowly get better.
3, bad breath: 4-5 days after surgery, some children will appear obvious bad breath, mainly because of the decomposition of necrotic tissue at the site of surgery, there will be bacterial growth, bacteria decomposition of the protein produced a special smell. This symptom usually lasts for 3-4 days and does not require special treatment. Nasal rinsing can relieve it, but slowly, otherwise premature scab removal will have the potential risk of inducing bleeding.
4. Vocal abnormalities: Several children will have slurred speech after surgery, which is due to dysarthria caused by painful uncoordinated muscle movements of speech, and not damage to the vocal cords. This condition usually disappears within two weeks, so mothers and fathers need not worry.
5. Fever: Sometimes a low fever (37-38.5 degrees Celsius) will last until about a week. This is because the inflammatory material from the surgical site is absorbed into the bloodstream and absorbed fever is produced. Unless the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees or the child is depressed, no special treatment or hospital visit is needed.
6. Bleeding: Rarely do children have bleeding after discharge from the hospital; the chances of this are less than 1%. If there is a small amount of blood in the saliva, you can temporarily observe at home; if there is a whole mouthful of blood spit out, then you need to go to the hospital immediately.
