【Introduction】
"Doctor, my baby sleeps and snores in the sky", "Doctor, my baby can't breathe well when she sleeps at night"... At present, more and more parents are concerned about various problems caused by children's tonsil hypertrophy, which has become a common disease in children aged 4-6 years. So, how to effectively treat tonsil hypertrophy in children?
First, the harm of hypertrophy of the tonsils in children
Tonsillar hypertrophy in children is a common and frequent disease in childhood. Children's tonsillar hypertrophy first affects respiratory function, which will cause chronic hypoxia, which will affect the child's cardiopulmonary function, intellectual development, and will also cause children's memory decline, hyperactivity, night sleep snoring, teeth grinding, sweating, bedwetting, etc. Therefore, children with enlarged tonsils should undergo surgical resection as early as possible.
Second, the treatment plan of tonsil hypertrophy in children
The traditional surgical method is mainly plasma surgery, which is a surgical method with large damage, long operation time and slow recovery. At present, our hospital has successfully carried out more than ten cases of "bloodless tonsillar extrusion", this new technology can completely overcome the drawbacks of traditional surgery, which can be minimally invasive and basically no bleeding during surgery, which greatly reduces the pain and fear of children. In addition, "bloodless tonsillar extrusion" has a short duration (can be completed in a few minutes), minimally invasive, minimal postoperative pain, fast recovery, and can be active and eating on the day of surgery. During the operation, the anesthesiologist will monitor the child's vital signs, closely monitor the brain, heart, kidney and other important organs, and adjust at any time according to the child's intraoperative situation, ensuring the safety of anesthesia.
Which children are suitable for this surgery?
Recurrent attacks of tonsillitis.
Abscess around the tonsils.
Obstructive apnea hypopnea syndrome. This refers to the situation that children sleep with snoring, breathing with their mouths open, and having difficulty falling asleep.
Focal tonsillitis.
Experts remind: tonsil hypertrophy generally occurs in childhood, when this condition occurs, we must take active treatment, you can get rid of the disease as soon as possible, return to a healthy physical state.
