How to prevent and care for the sequelae of tonsil surgery?

Tonsils are a type of tissue in people's throats. They play a very important role and are the body's first line of immune defense. Therefore, the health of tonsils is closely related to people's safety. However, the tonsils themselves are very fragile and are prone to disease. For example, enlarged tonsils are a common symptom and require surgical removal for treatment. However, how to prevent and care for the sequelae of tonsil surgery?

Tonsils are originally an immune organ, but their functions gradually disappear after the age of four. ?Therefore, the age for tonsil surgery is between four and forty years old. After the age of forty, the tonsil tissue will atrophy. Recurrent tonsillitis or tonsillitis that becomes a potential lesion in the body are indications for tonsillectomy.

1. Usually, recurrent tonsillitis is common in people who like to eat various snacks, sweets, delicious drinks and milk, because the above snacks are easy to stick to the throat. These foods are good culture media for various microorganisms. That is, if we treat and cultivate at the same time, it is equivalent to doing useless work. It is also easy for various microorganisms to develop drug resistance. The best way to treat it is to quit the above snacks and then use antibiotics to treat it, which will be more effective.

2. Tonsillitis is a common disease among teenagers, and many people need to undergo tonsillectomy. If patients have a more correct understanding of postoperative care knowledge, they can recover and regain health faster.

3. There will be varying degrees of pain for a period of time after tonsillectomy. To help relieve pain, you can drink cold drinks appropriately or use cold compresses (same method as above). Pressing or acupuncture on the Hegu point can also have a certain effect. It should be said that the pain will gradually subside and disappear from the second day after the operation. It is worth pointing out that painkillers should not be used arbitrarily.

4. Within 24 hours after the operation, since the wound has not healed completely, some blood may be mixed with saliva and spit out. This is a normal phenomenon. If you find that blood is coming out of your mouth from time to time, it means that the wound is bleeding. The simplest way is to use cold compress: use ice cubes, ice bags, or towels or cloth soaked in ice water or cold water, and apply them to the forehead and both sides of the head and neck. If you keep spitting out blood clots from your mouth and the amount increases, you need to go to the hospital for further bleeding control.
