Does tonsil surgery hurt?

? Tonsillectomy is controversial. Is it better to take it off or keep it?

Tonsillectomy can relieve dyspnea and dysphagia caused by excessive tonsil hypertrophy, and can avoid myocarditis, nephritis and benign and malignant tumors of tonsil caused by repeated tonsil inflammation.

Its shortcomings are mainly the decline of children's immunity, pain, bleeding, dry throat, scarring and so on after tonsillectomy. Tonsillectomy can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. During local anesthesia, patients can feel pain during operation, but patients with pain after surface anesthesia and local infiltration anesthesia can tolerate it.

Patients under general anesthesia do not feel pain during the operation, and only when they are awake after general anesthesia will they feel pain. The pain can be tolerated by symptomatic treatment with painkillers after operation.

/kloc-Before the age of 0/5, tonsils are important immune organs in human body, which can help human body resist the invasion of germs. However, from the age of 18, the tonsils will also shrink, and the immune ability will gradually disappear. Instead, it will be replaced by the human alarm system, that is, once the human body is infected by germs and bacteria, it will become inflamed first to warn the human body.

Whether the tonsils need to be removed should first be decided according to the symptoms of the tonsils.

If the tonsils are inflamed repeatedly, the number of times of inflammation is 4-5 times a year or even higher, and chronic tonsillitis is formed. For chronic tonsillitis, surgical tonsillectomy is generally recommended.

Because the symptoms of chronic tonsillitis are not only manifested in tonsils, but also cause other systemic complications, such as chronic nephritis, arthritis, myocarditis and so on. In this case, the tonsils must be removed.

These complications will occur if the tonsils are not removed. After tonsillectomy, many children's voices will be more spacious, and they will snore and hold their breath at night, and their symptoms will gradually worsen.

The disadvantage of tonsillectomy is mainly postoperative bleeding, which is still dangerous. Usually, children must be careful not to talk too much. They must have a reasonable diet and a light diet. Don't eat hard and spicy food.
