I. What is the role of tonsils in the human body? Tonsils are a local immune organ in the human body, which has a certain immune function in our body. Especially in children. What are the ways of tonsil surgery? When a child undergoes tonsil surgery, parents often struggle with the type of surgery. There are two main types of tonsil surgery in our hospital: 1. tonsillectomy; 2. partial tonsil ablation with plasma. The choice of the surgical procedure is based on the patient’s actual situation and the maximum benefit obtained. Each of the two procedures has its own advantages. Tonsillectomy, as the name implies, is the complete removal of the tonsils. This is mainly indicated for patients with frequent and recurrent inflammation of the tonsils, or for patients whose tonsillitis has caused lesions in other organs, as well as for patients with lesions of the tonsils themselves (e.g. tonsillar keratosis, diphtheria carriers and benign tumors of the tonsils). For patients with excessive tonsillar hypertrophy affecting breathing, swallowing, and slurred speech, partial tonsil ablation is an option if the tonsils are not repeatedly inflamed. The advantage of this procedure is that it preserves the role of the tonsils and reduces the size of the tonsils to improve blockage. The current consensus among national and international experts is that complete removal of the tonsils is not usually an option for children under 6 years of age. Of course, this is not a generalization, but if the child has recurrent fever, tonsillar suppuration more than 6 times/year, and has been observed for more than 1 year, then the parent should decisively choose complete removal of the tonsils. If the child has recurrent fever and tonsillar suppuration more than 6 times/year and has been observed for more than 1 year, the parents should decisively choose complete removal, which is definitely more beneficial than harmful for the child’s growth. Third, what can I eat after tonsil surgery? 1.The most worrying thing after tonsil surgery is the bleeding of the trauma, so the diet after surgery is mainly liquid diet and semi-liquid diet, you can eat in 4 hours, but you should mainly eat cold liquid, if the pseudomembrane grows well after 2-3 days, then you can change to semi-liquid diet, after 2 weeks you can eat normally, but initially you should still mainly eat soft food. 2.Fluids are mainly: milk, rice soup, soy milk, juice, etc.; 3.Semi-liquids are mainly: thin rice, noodles, vermicelli, ravioli, etc. 4.What else should we pay attention to after the surgery? The most important thing for patients and families after surgery is to pay attention to the bleeding in the mouth, they should always spit out the saliva and mouth, do not swallow. If there is less blood in the saliva, do not mind, but if you continue to spit blood, you should call the doctor for examination. After discharge, if there is a large mouth of blood vomit should come to the hospital for review. V. What are the main postoperative medications? Because tonsil surgery is a surgery with infected incisions, postoperative antibiotics should be used to prevent infection, as well as intraoral nebulized inhalation and hormone drip to achieve the purpose of anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling treatment. Every day, you have to rinse your mouth with furacilin solution after meals to maintain oral hygiene. If you usually have nasal congestion, or if you have adenoids or other rhinological procedures, you should use nasal linctus daily to constrict blood vessels, nasal hormone anti-inflammatory treatment, and hypertonic saline to clear the nasal cavity. This will keep the nasal cavity open for breathing and recovery. After discharge from the hospital, hypertonic seawater nasal spray should be continued to clean up Nasal ling + nasal rinse Hang your head upside down, lay flat for one minute after three drops of nasal ling in each nostril and then get up again, ten minutes later hypertonic seawater nasal (Sinonin, sitting position), two sprays on each side, three times a day; nasal ling usually does not exceed one week, hypertonic seawater nasal (preoperative and postoperative) should be used for at least three to six months; nasal hormone: every morning and evening, after hypertonic seawater nasal, nasal hormone (Nesuna or Reynocort) two sprays per nostril, two times a day. The person remains upright and sprays the right nostril with the left hand and the left nostril with the right hand. Inhale slightly backward while spraying. VI. Do I need to review after surgery? After discharge from the hospital, review once a week, and then again in 2 months if the wound has recovered well.
