Adenoid hypertrophy is a common childhood disease that generally coexists with chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy. In addition to the common open mouth breathing and sleeping snoring, it can also cause many symptoms such as ears, nose, pharynx, and larynx. Because tonsils and adenoidal hypertrophy are very harmful in the growth and development of babies, in the case of ineffective conservative treatment, the child needs to be treated surgically. At present, low-temperature plasma tonsillectomy has been promoted to more and more hospitals because of its short surgical time, less bleeding, less trauma and fast postoperative recovery.
Under what circumstances do tonsillary adenoid surgery be required?
When the children's rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media, snoring and other complicated diseases continue to not improve, and the improvement of taking medicine is not obvious, the doctor will recommend surgery to solve the problem.
What do I need to pay attention to after surgery?
1. On the day after the operation, you can eat a cold liquid diet, including milk, soy milk, soup and water, etc., not too hot and too hot. Ice cream can reduce pain and reduce the chance of bleeding, and can be eaten after surgery but be careful not to eat a bad stomach.
2. On the second day after surgery, you can eat soft food, including noodles, porridge, corn paste, steamed fish, steamed eggs, mashed potatoes, etc., do not eat solid foods with slag or large pieces, such as fruits and fried, spicy, hard and acidic foods. Normal diet is usually resumed 2 weeks after surgery. It is best to rinse your mouth and drink water after each meal to keep your mouth clean and prevent wound infection in the tonsillar fossa after surgery.
3. Do not refuse to eat after surgery for fear of pain, and encourage children to eat as soon as possible in order to exercise more pharyngeal muscles, which can make the pain disappear as soon as possible and help accelerate wound healing. After tonsil removal, due to sore throat, some children may be reluctant to eat, resulting in weight loss, do not worry, after a normal diet can recover.
