What are the dangers of tonsillitis in children? Can removing the tonsils solve the problem once and for all?

Tonsils are an immune organ of the human body and the first defense portal for upper respiratory tract infections. They can resist the invasion of various pathogenic microorganisms into the human body and play a certain role in disease resistance. This role is particularly important before the baby is 4 years old. Tonsils are the natural barrier of the human body, like a loyal guard guarding the throat. Tonsils can not only produce lymphocytes, but also participate in antibody production to resist and eliminate pathogenic bacteria and viruses entering from the mouth and nose, and prevent the occurrence of diseases. What are the hazards of tonsillitis in children?

Under normal circumstances, the lymphocytes and antibodies in the tonsils can eliminate or control bacteria and keep the body healthy. However, the power of any defense is limited. When the body's resistance is reduced, such as in a cold or humid environment, physical fatigue, malnutrition, lack of exercise, or when bacteria invade multiple times, especially when the number of bacteria is large and the toxicity is strong, the tonsils will be occupied by bacteria, inflamed, red, swollen, painful, and suppurated. Mild low-grade fever, cough, sore throat, severe high fever, shortness of breath, and even high fever convulsions.

If the treatment is not timely, the body's resistance is not enough to overcome the pathogens, and the inflammation can spread to the surrounding tissues and spread to other organs through the blood, causing inflammation, secondary rheumatic fever, rheumatic arthritis, rheumatic heart disease, acute nephritis and low fever without obvious reasons. Of course, complications such as abscesses, acute otitis media, and sinusitis also occur from time to time. At this time, tonsils have become the "culprit" of the baby's disease.

It is generally believed that the tonsils of children under 6 years old have important physiological functions. Any removal will reduce the body's immunity, so surgery is generally not recommended. During inflammation, surgery should not be performed to avoid the spread of inflammation and bleeding during and after surgery. Surgery should be avoided when suffering from blood diseases and coagulation disorders.

Removal of the following:

Tonsils are often inflamed, affecting breathing, pronunciation and nasal ventilation.

2. Those whose tonsils are often inflamed, which obviously affects their physical development.

3: Although tonsils are not often inflamed, every occurrence is closely related to rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease and nephritis.

4. People with tumors or stones on their tonsils.
