Whenever the baby has a fever and takes it to the doctor, he often hears the doctor say: "The throat and tonsils are inflamed, and they need to be observed again."
Why are tonsils so easily inflamed? What conditions do I need tonsillectomy?
Let's use the great general of a country to compare the tonsils, the national army to compare the human immune system, and look at the story of the road to a country's army...
A new country is established (little babies are born!) ）
In the first six months, the country itself only had some young baby soldiers, and even the enemy had not seen how it looked, let alone the war, the wise mother (mother) knew that this would be the case, and when the country was first founded, a group of well-trained mercenaries were left to sit in the army, and the country was able to grow and develop under the guidance of the enemy. During this period, if you can continue to receive the support of the "personal feeding team" (breast milk), the combat ability can be more powerful.
The baby has antibodies from the mother, the resistance is similar to that of adults, it is not easy to be defeated by weak bacteria, and therefore, if the baby has fever symptoms within four months, the case is often not simple, and it cannot be ignored!
Six months to three years after the founding of the country, the tonsil general Hori rose up, led the autonomy of the national army, stood on the front line to resist the enemy, whenever the throat soldiers were attacked, he would hardly be absent, under the invasion of jackals, tigers and leopards (rhinovirus, adenovirus, EBV), every soldier. In the general conventional war (cold), almost all the tonsils take the lead (throat redness and swelling), and after a day or two, the battlefield moves to the nose (runny nose, nasal congestion), and then it may turn to the trachea (cough).
In early childhood, the tonsils will make antibodies, capture antigens, is an important tissue for the development of the upper gastrointestinal lymphatic group, and because of this, the general upper respiratory tract infection or fever, at the beginning there will be symptoms of red throat, tonsil inflammation, plus the baby is not very able to express where uncomfortable, this period of fever medical treatment, why parents often hear the doctor said: "Throat, tonsils are inflamed, need to observe again", this is the reason.
Three to five years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the great general of the tonsils was already a cheap old man and wanted to unload his armor and return to the forest, but after years of conquest, his body was pitted (tonsillar crypt), but often became a gathering place for the enemy to hide (germs). As long as there is a war, almost all of them have the will to fight but have no combat strength, and even the Red Devil King Streptococcus (a bacterium, which will have a high fever, redness of the tonsils, and pus and pus, and pus bleeding) that has not dared to make a mistake before, will attack him, and for a while the tiger will fall to Pingyang. Due to the location of the tonsils, once lost (streptococcal infection), it can even affect Wang Du (heart and kidneys), causing devastating disasters (rheumatic heart disease, glomerulonephritis).
Before the age of three, tonsil inflammation or suppuration is mostly a viral infection, after the age of five, it is still a viral infection, but about 10% of the bacteria (streptococcus- mainly), need to be treated with antibiotics, to avoid rheumatic heart disease, glomerulonephritis and other complications.
When is it necessary to tearfully behead the General? (Indications for tonsillectomy surgery)
It is mainly based on the following two conditions:
Enlarged tonsillar obstruction causes abortive breathing and even cor pulmonale
If the great general relied on his own military achievements, he continued to enrich himself, expand his power (tonsil hypertrophy), and even block the golden flow (breathing stoppage) needed for the development of the country, causing the king to be weak (pulmonary heart disease).
Recurrent inflammation of the tonsils or peri-tonsillar abscesses
If the great general retreats from the first line, the combat effectiveness is weakened and confused, becoming a gap in the defense line of the national army, constantly attracting enemy troops to attack, and repeatedly triggering wars.
