Does tonsillectomy have an effect?

Question 1: What effect does tonsillectomy have on the body? Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils. Clinically, it can be divided into acute and chronic, and the main symptoms are sore throat, fever and throat discomfort. This disease can cause ear, nose, heart, kidney, joints and other local or systemic complications, which should be paid attention to. The main pathogen of tonsillitis is hemolytic streptococcus, and others such as staphylococcus, pneumococcus, influenza Bacillus and virus can also be caused.

The traditional tonsillectomy is to completely remove the tonsil capsule, and the wound is not sutured after operation until the wound heals itself. After operation, a false membrane was formed on the wound, from the periphery to the center, until the wound healed completely. After tonsillectomy, the muscles under the wound were exposed to saliva, so the patient felt sore throat 1-2 weeks during the wound healing process.

Question 2: What happens after tonsillectomy? Thank you. There should be no sequelae, but I can tell you that if tonsillectomy is done, the chances of myocarditis and endocarditis will increase. Just like other lymph glands, if germs invade, they will proliferate and swell. Therefore, many respiratory tract infections will cause swelling and inflammation of tonsils and throat lymph glands. If the tonsil inflammation is particularly serious, there will be suppuration. Why can't tonsils be removed casually? The tonsil is the largest lymphoid tissue in the pharynx. In childhood, it is an active immune organ, containing lymphocytes at various stages of development, such as T cells, B cells, phagocytes and so on. Therefore, it not only has humoral immunity and produces various immunoglobulins, but also has certain cellular immunity. Immunoglobulin IgA produced by tonsils has strong immunity, which can inhibit the adhesion of bacteria to respiratory mucosa, inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, and neutralize and inhibit viruses. IgA can also enhance the function of phagocytes by activating complement. These are the most active between the ages of two and five. From the point of view of immunity, tonsils should not be removed casually because of their immune function to the body. Tonsil hypertrophy in children is a normal physiological phenomenon. If hypertrophy does not affect breathing and swallowing and does not produce serious clinical manifestations, it should not be removed. Because excision may affect the local immune response and reduce the body's ability to resist infection. If tonsillitis recurs, which hinders breathing and swallowing and causes diseases such as rheumatism and nephritis, it should be removed in time. Generally, tonsillectomy in children should be performed after the age of four, and it is more appropriate to wait for two to three weeks after the inflammation subsides. However, if the attack is too frequent and can't wait, you can consider performing surgery after the attack subsides for a few days.

Question 3: How much influence does tonsillectomy have on the body? Small tonsils are in our throats. If we look at the light, we can see two small pieces, quietly staying in the main throat. Usually it probably won't attract our attention, but we can often hear the words "tonsillitis", especially in the cold winter. A little carelessness will bring us great pain. This troublesome little thing sometimes causes severe sore throat, snoring, easy to wake up when sleeping, or other adverse reactions.

Tonsil is an important part of human immune system. Its location and special tissue structure make it play a role in helping the whole immune system grow and produce antibodies in children. The specific role has the following aspects:

? Protect respiratory tract and digestive tract from bacterial invasion;

? Produce immune bodies resistant to bacterial infection;

? Lymphocytes are produced and transported into the blood.

Tonsils are the "natural barrier" of human body and the "first line of defense" against respiratory diseases. Once this line of defense is broken, it will in turn bring a lot of harm to the human body. For example, when a child has a cold or fever, the tonsils are often inflamed. If it is often inflamed repeatedly, it will hinder the toxin from being discharged from the tonsils and easily become a "lesion". This tonsil "focus" can also cause many systemic diseases, such as rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, rheumatic heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.

Tonsils are small and round things that protrude slightly from both sides of the throat to stop and kill bacteria and prevent them from invading the lungs through the trachea. You can see your child when he sticks out his tongue and says "ah" or yawns. Another gland closely related to the tonsil is the proliferative gland, which is similar to the tonsil in structure and function. From the deep throat to the nasal cavity, the developed glands of lymph glands are called proliferators, which can only be seen through some special instruments.

Tonsils are a bit like sponges. They have many holes and cracks. When attacked by bacteria and other microorganisms, it will become inflamed and swollen. In this way, it will lead to tonsillitis or other painful diseases, such as otitis media and sinusitis.

Tonsils and their similar proliferators are the immune organs of human body. Whenever we get sick, they will swell up and play an immune role. It takes about 3 to 9 months, which is a process of increasing and decreasing. In some extreme cases, the diffuser is enlarged and enters the nasal cavity, so that children can only breathe through the mouth. Hyperplasia can also make children have a heavy nasal sound when speaking, and it is also easy to cause middle ear infection, or press the auditory nerve outward, leading to hearing loss or deafness. Similarly, tonsil hypertrophy will bring some troubles, such as dysphagia. When tonsils and proliferators are enlarged, they will cause snoring during sleep, and it is easy to wake up during sleep.

Tonsillitis is a more serious disease with sore throat, which is caused by many different viruses and bacteria. Once the tonsils are inflamed, the throat will be red and swollen, and there will be pain when swallowing saliva, so your child may not even dare to eat. If the child's throat is facing the light, it will be obvious that his tonsils are covered with white, gray or yellowish things. Other symptoms of tonsillitis include: high fever, earache, hoarseness, dyspnea, physical fatigue, vomiting, and lymphadenopathy on both sides of the throat.

In contrast, a common sore throat is caused by viruses that cause colds and flu. The throat infections caused by these viruses generally do not last long and do not cause high fever. Just like other types of viral infections, you don't need antibiotics. The only thing we can do is wait, and it will be all right after a while. If the condition still doesn't improve after a few days, or it is accompanied by fever, then you need to see a doctor for sore throat caused by whatever reason. In addition, if your child refuses to eat or drink water, or drools all the time, then you must take your child to the hospital and ask a doctor to see if the tonsil inflammation area is too large for the child to swallow.

It all depends on whether the virus or the bacteria are getting stronger and stronger. First, the doctor will examine the child to determine whether the sore throat is caused by bacteria. If it is caused by streptococcus, then antibiotics are needed. If it is not caused by bacterial infection, it is probably caused by virus. In this case, the only treatment is to make the child feel as comfortable as possible, because there is no specific medicine available.

That's true. Snoring is the main symptom of tonsillar hypertrophy. If left untreated, it will cause obstructive apnea when the child sleeps. This temporary cessation of breathing will make the child sleep without oxygen. Then, ... >>

Question 4: What effect does tonsillectomy have on human body? First of all, I want to explain that tonsillectomy is generally advocated in the case of repeated suppurative infection of tonsils. If this is not the case, the infection symptoms are not serious and the number of repetitions is small, so it is not recommended to cut them off. If it is cut off, it is not necessarily the important organs that are first invaded by external infection. After all, tonsils have immune function and can be used as a shield for the further development of diseases.
