    Under normal circumstances, there will be no sequelae, but the tonsils are always inflamed, and lesions have been formed, which will cause other complications in the long run. My son has had his tonsils removed for 6 years and has not found anything abnormal, but without tonsils, the inflammation of colds and fires will easily attack the pharynx, so I usually pay attention to protecting my throat.

    The tonsils are lymphoid tissues located at the intersection of the digestive and respiratory tracts, where the mucosa contains a large amount of lymphoid tissue and is the site of frequent exposure to antigens that cause local immune responses. A mass of lymphoid tissue under the oropharyngeal epithelium. At the base of the tongue and around the pharynx, there are several groups of lymphoid tissue, which are called palatine tonsils, pharyngeal tonsils, and lingual tonsils according to their location.

    The palatal tonsils are the largest, and what is commonly referred to as the tonsils is the palatal tonsils. The palatal tonsils have a pair, located between the lingual and pharyngeal palatine arches, and are oval, covered by stratified squamous epithelium. The epithelium sinks into the interior of the tonsils to form 10 20 crypts, which contain exfoliated epithelial cells.

    Lymphocytes and bacteria, etc. Lymph nodes and diffuse lymphoid tissue are densely distributed below the epithelium and around the crypts, and lymphocytes often pass through the epithelium and are deposited in the oropharynx. The envelope of the tonsils is a dense layer of connective tissue that separates the palatine tonsils from adjacent organs and acts as a barrier to prevent the spread of palatine tonsil infection.

    The tonsils produce lymphocytes and antibodies, so they have a defense function against bacteria and viruses. The pharynx is the only way to eat and breathe, and it is easy to hide germs and foreign bodies when exposed to it. The pharynx's rich lymphoid tissues and tonsils perform the task of defending this special area of the body.

    However, it is also susceptible to hemolytic streptococcus. Staphylococci and pneumococci wait until the germ and invasion become inflamed. These bacteria are usually found in the pharynx and tonsil crypts of a person.

    Normally, the body is kept healthy because the tonsil surface is intact and the mucus glands are constantly secreting, allowing bacteria to be expelled from the crypt along with the shedding epithelial cells. When the body's resistance is weakened, the epithelial defense function is weakened, and the gland secretion function is reduced due to excessive fatigue, cold, etc., the tonsils will suffer from bacterial infection and become inflamed. If tonsillitis reverses and adversely affects the whole body, according to the thinking mode of Western medicine, the tonsils will be removed by oral surgery.

    Hello; Tonsillectomy is a minor ENT surgery that should be done under local anesthesia. For the tonsils, it is an immune organ of the body, and it is also the first line of defense, if it is removed, it may lead to the loss of the first line of defense. However, for children with recurrent tonsil infections, removal can still be beneficial and can prevent related diseases such as infective endocarditis.

    What are the effects of tonsillectomy:

    1. The defense effect of tonsils on the human body is very weak, and the removal of tonsils will not affect people's resistance.

    2. There will be discomfort after surgical removal of tonsils, such as some scars will be formed after surgery, and scar traction will easily cause a foreign body sensation when swallowing or speaking.

    3. There are some glands on some tonsils, the glands moisten the pharyngeal cavity, and after tonsillar resection, some sensitive patients have dry throat.

    The tonsils have immune function, and removal can lead to low immune function, especially for children under 3-4 years old, and less for children over 3-4 years old. At present, clinical studies believe that whether tonsillectomy has an effect on the body's immune function is still controversial. In addition, after tonsillar removal, the local defense function of the throat may be reduced, and the chance of chronic laryngitis may also increase.

    Hello, tonsillectomy is a relatively mature surgical procedure in otolaryngology. The most common sequelae, the most common of which is postoperative bleeding. Bleeding is generally divided into two conditions, primary bleeding and secondary bleeding.

    Bleeding that occurs within 24 hours after surgery is called primary hemorrhage, and bleeding is caused by incomplete hemostasis during surgery, or severe coughing after surgery, and the ligated gland falls off. Bleeding that occurs after 24 hours, sometimes even a week or even ten days after surgery, is a delayed bleeding, and there are many causes of delayed bleeding. For example, improper diet, eating some too hard, too hot food, bruising the tonsils, secondary infection caused by blood vessel rupture and bleeding.

    Postoperative strenuous activities are too early, and physical labor or sports climbing are clinically seen. The second common complication after surgery is infection, which causes tonsils. The tonsils are red and swollen, there are superficial ulcers on the surface, the sore throat worsens 4-5 days after surgery, and it is even accompanied by ear pain and swollen lymph nodes in the mandibular angle.

    The patient feels a foreign body sensation in the pharynx, a tense pulling sensation. There is also a relatively rare complication, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, which is ear pain after surgery, and some patients will also have complications of lung infection.

    The tonsils are often inflamed and cause the tonsils to enlarge, generally speaking, there is no 3rd degree enlargement, and it does not affect breathing, and it is generally not surgically removed, and only when it affects breathing (that is, it is often awakened due to breathlessness during sleep at night) is surgically removed. Because the tonsils are an immune organ of the human body, after removal, the body is missing an organ to defend against disease. It is bad for the human body.

    Usually recurrent tonsil inflammation is more common in people who like to eat all kinds of snacks, sweets, drinks and milk, because the above snacks are good attached to the throat, and these foods are a good medium for various microorganisms, that is, we are cultivating while **, which is equivalent to doing useless work. It is also easy to form antimicrobial resistance to various microorganisms. The best way to do this is to quit these snacks and then use antibiotics, so that the effect will be better.

    I wish you to get rid of your child's bad habits and let him ** soon!

    Tonsillectomy is generally not appropriate in children who often have tonsillitis. Because children, especially children under the age of 5, have not fully developed the functions of other immune organs in the body, the immune function of their tonsils is even more important. As children grow older, as their immune function continues to improve, the lymphatic tissue of the pharynx can gradually shrink, so the number of tonsillitis episodes will become less and less.

    Hello! The tonsils are the body's natural barrier, which not only produces lymphocytes, but also participates in the production of antibodies, resists and destroys pathogenic bacteria and viruses entering from the mouth and nose, and prevents the occurrence of diseases. If it is removed due to inflammation of the tonsils, it is equivalent to removing the guard, and the germs will attack and drive straight in, which can easily cause upper respiratory tract diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

    Therefore, excision is not recommended, and the scientific method of low-temperature plasma ablation should be chosen for tonsillitis. It has a good ** effect on tonsil inflammation, and does not harm the health of the tonsils, and preserves the integrity of the tonsils. c

    "Tonsillitis precautions.

    Tonsillitis is a common disease in adolescents, and many people need tonsillectomy surgery. If the patient has a correct understanding of the common sense of post-operative care, the patient can recover more quickly and recover his health.

    Prevent bleeding. Within 24 hours after surgery, it is normal for the wound to be completely healed, and some oozing blood may be mixed with saliva and spit out. If you find that there are patches of blood spit out from time to time in the mouth, it means that the wound is bleeding, and the easiest way is to apply cold compresses: use ice cubes, ice packs, or towels and cloths soaked in ice water and cold water to apply them to the forehead and the sides of the head and neck.

    If the blood clot in the mouth keeps vomiting and the number increases, then you have to go to the hospital for further treatment to stop the bleeding.

    Pain relief. For a period of time after tonsil surgery, there will be varying degrees of pain. To help relieve pain, cold beverages can be used in appropriate amounts or cold compresses (as described above). Pneading or acupuncture with your hands can also play a certain role.

    It should be said that the pain gradually decreases and disappears from the day after the surgery. It is worth pointing out that pain relievers cannot be used arbitrarily"
