Enlarged tonsils

Tonsillar hypertrophy is a relatively common disease. Most of the causes of tonsillar hypertrophy are due to bacterial and viral infections. It will be very uncomfortable during the onset of the disease, and severe cases will affect normal life and work. Therefore, timely treatment is needed. If general drug treatment is not effective, many patients will choose surgical treatment, which is more effective.

Since you have chosen surgery, you need to pay attention to many things, including eating liquid or semi-liquid food as much as possible and not eating hard food. This is more convenient for use and digestion and absorption. You also need to get more rest and not overwork. In addition, oral hygiene requires more attention. If you don't pay attention, it can easily cause infection. The following is some relevant content about enlarged tonsils. I hope it will be helpful to you and allow you to recover your health soon.

Causes and symptoms

reason

It is caused by bacterial and viral infections, among which bacterial infections are more common. The pathogens are mostly hemolytic streptococci, staphylococci, and pneumococci.

symptom

1. Ear symptoms: Due to the hypertrophy of tonsils and the accumulation of inflammatory secretions in the nasopharynx, the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube is blocked, which may be complicated by non-suppurative or suppurative otitis media, leading to hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear stuffiness.

2. Nasal symptoms: Enlarged tonsils are often complicated by rhinitis and sinusitis. The children have symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, mouth breathing, drooling, occlusive nasal sounds when speaking, and snoring during sleep.

3. Symptoms of respiratory tract infection: Due to the inflammation, secretions irritate the respiratory mucosa, often causing inflammation of the throat, trachea and bronchitis. Therefore, patients may experience symptoms such as throat discomfort, voice changes, coughing and spitting, asthma, low fever, etc.

Enlarged tonsils

4. "Adenoid facies": Due to long-term mouth breathing, the development of the child's facial bones is affected, the maxilla becomes long and narrow, and the hard palate becomes high and narrow. Protruding teeth, irregular dentition, poor bite, drooping mandible, thick lips, upturned upper lip, hanging lower lip, drooping outer canthus, and shallow nasolabial groove. If there is mental depression and dull and stupid facial expressions, it becomes the so-called "adenoid facies".

2 Treatment

1. Drug treatment: Traditional drug treatment for acute tonsillitis generally uses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. The disadvantage of this local treatment method is that it only reduces inflammation but cannot eliminate the bacteria in the tonsillar crypts. Once the body's resistance is reduced, it is very easy to relapse, and chronic lesions will form over time.

2. Surgical treatment: Tonsils have certain immune functions of the human body, and surgical removal of tonsils is dangerous. It also brings great pain and heavy economic burden to patients. Generally, if you are not a seriously ill patient, tonsillectomy is not recommended.

3. Chinese herbal medicine treatment

Drinking tea in daily life can not only prevent and improve pharyngitis, but also regulate the balance of human body mechanisms, enhance human resistance, and greatly reduce the recurrence rate of the disease.

4. High-frequency rapid separation technology treatment

High-frequency rapid-discharge technology[1] for the treatment of tonsillar hypertrophy uses high-frequency electrical energy generated by electronic circuits. Under the guidance of a precise positioning navigation system, it reaches the lesion site precisely. The surgical electrosurgical knife uses a needle-shaped or blade-shaped electrode to instantly (0.6 to 1.2 seconds) remove the lesion tissue, forming a bleeding-free, narrow and flat incision to stop bleeding and achieve the purpose of treating tonsillar hypertrophy. Since the system is also equipped with powerful digital power control management functions, it can specify different treatment parameters according to the patient's specific situation and adopt personalized treatment methods. It has the characteristics of full digital temperature control, and the 32-bit binary code can control the temperature accurately to 0.05℃. Moreover, the power of the device is controlled by a computer and will be adjusted appropriately according to the conditions of the treatment area to prevent excessive coagulation and cutting. Therefore, the normal tissue structure will not be destroyed, and the original immunity and antibacterial function of the tonsils will be retained. The clinical surgical treatment efficiency of this technology is as high as over 98%. It is favored by the majority of patients for its advantages such as ultra-minimally invasive, painless, bleeding-free, and fast treatment speed!

1. Leading edge: This technology is known for its high speed and high safety, short treatment time, no pain, quick recovery, no impact on work and study, and is suitable for patients of all ages. The therapeutic effect is significantly higher than other treatments.

2. Minimally invasive: sophisticated operations completely avoid damage to normal tissues and structures. No surgery, no hospitalization, no general anesthesia, avoids the risks of traditional surgical treatment, no complications, and greatly increases the safety factor.

3. Thoroughness: Combination of multiple sets of scientific equipment, highly targeted, safe and effective, with an efficiency rate of over 98%. Suitable for patients with various conditions.

4. Timeliness: One-time treatment, the treatment time is shortened compared with traditional treatment

I believe everyone knows about enlarged tonsils. During the illness, you should get more rest and maintain a good attitude and mood. In fact, no matter what disease you have, you need a good attitude. I hope you recover soon.
