How is tonsillitis?
Tonsils, as we often say, are not exactly the same as tonsils in medicine. Deputy Director Zhang Hong pointed out. Tonsil is actually a kind of lymphoid tissue, which is located under the skin of human oropharynx, including lingual tonsil, tonsil and tonsil. Generally speaking, "tonsil" refers to tonsil. Tonsils are a pair. Tonsils usually secrete a small amount of mucus. Tonsils are an important line of defense for the health of respiratory system and digestive tract. It can eliminate the invading bacteria and viruses to a certain extent and protect human health. When the human body's resistance is insufficient, if the reproduction of pathogens is not effectively controlled, tonsils will become inflamed.
However, the causes of recurrent tonsillitis in infants are as follows.
First, because the tonsil is located in the main throat, it is the only way for babies to eat or breathe, and it has also become a place to shelter evil people and shelter evil people. At this time, the defense ability of tonsils will be greatly reduced, which will naturally reduce immunity and lead to tonsillitis or recurrence in infants.
Second, during tonsillitis, the nanny only takes medicine as a symptom of the child. Therefore, mother Bao thinks that the symptoms of tonsillitis have improved and tonsillitis has healed. The symptoms caused by tonsillitis disappear, but the inflammation of tonsil itself is not completely removed, which is easy to cause chronic inflammation. Therefore, when treating tonsillitis for children, we must respect the doctor's prescription drugs and stop taking drugs, and avoid stopping taking drugs without authorization.
Winter and spring are the high incidence seasons of tonsillitis, so we should pay attention to prevention.
Saliva and nasal mucus containing pathogens are the main sources of infection, and foam caused by cough, sneezing and phlegm dampness is the main route of transmission. The temperature difference between winter and spring is large, the outdoor climate is dry, it is easy to spread in a large area, and the indoor air flow is not smooth, so attention should be paid to prevention. Ensuring adequate rest and sleep, going to crowded places less, avoiding patients, washing hands frequently and wearing masks are all effective preventive measures.
Five cases of tonsillectomy should be considered.
1. Tonsillitis occurs more than 7 times a year, 5 times every two years or 3 times every three years.
2. Tonsillar enlargement leads to upper respiratory tract obstruction and sleep apnea.
3. Peritonsillar abscess and conservative treatment are ineffective.
4. Chronic infection of tonsils has become the focus, causing various infections repeatedly.
5. There is a significant difference in the size of tonsils on both sides.
