Introduction:
Related surgical treatments for tonsillar enlargement actually do not have fixed age restrictions, but for safety reasons, I generally recommend that parents wait until their children are 5 years old before considering surgical resection treatment. We should determine the actual situation of the child, such as whether the child's tonsill inflammation can be solved by drugs anti-inflammatory . Because the child is in the developmental stage, especially for young children under five years old, but if the medicine does not have obvious effect and the child's tonsils are still growing, then we must consider removing the entire tonsil.
What are the conventional medicines for tonsillar enlargement?
There are many treatment methods for conventional drugs for tonsillar swelling. As we all know, tonsillar enlargement is caused by pathological hyperplasia caused by inflammatory stimulation, so the first choice is anti-inflammatory drugs, such as cephalosporins and penicillin antibiotics, but we must avoid the occurrence of allergic symptoms during treatment. anti-inflammatory drug can use conventional anti-inflammatory drugs such as clarithromycin, lincomycin , azithromycin and ofloxacin . If the oral medication is not effective, it can be treated through infusion. If the infusion still does not work, I suggest that you can take your child to the hospital for bacterial refining. The hospital will target the types of bacterial infections and target anti-inflammatory.
Secondly, we can use some conventional Chinese medicine drugs, such as Yiqing Capsule , Xinying Tablet and Tanshinone . We can let children use it together with anti-inflammatory drugs, which may have better efficacy. You can also choose some lozenges such as watermelon cream , silver yellow tablets, and Qingyan Drop Pills , etc., which can help the drugs to reduce swelling and anti-inflammatory effects. Secondly, chlorhexidine mouthwash or use Fenbid to treat when children have swelling and painful tonsils.
Surgery standards for tonsil swelling
Indications for tonsillectomy surgery:
1. If the tonsils are often red and swollen, have tonsillitis suppuration, and have high fever that does not subside, and have more than 5 times a year, the tonsils should be removed.
The second is that if the tonsils are not red and swollen, but the tonsils are overweight than III, it is manifested as loud snoring during sleep and heavy breathing, which affects breathing, swallowing and speech, which is manifested as vague speech, heavy snoring, heavy breathing, etc. The tonsils need to be removed.
So if tonsils are often inflamed repeatedly and tonsils are overweight, they are all indicators of tonsil removal surgery. Tonsil removal surgery requires normal removal. If there are cold, fever, infection and other factors, it cannot be removed.
My advice:
The child is too young, and drug treatment can be considered before the age of 5. It is not recommended to have surgery before the age of 5. Unless the drug treatment is not obvious or the development of tonsil swelling cannot be prevented, we must take the child for surgical resection when we have no choice. The above is what I will explain today about the popular science knowledge about the treatment of tonsillar swelling. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.
