What anti-inflammatory drugs should I take after thyrohyoid cyst surgery

Thyrohyoid cyst is a relatively common cyst. It usually occurs on the tongue of infants, due to incomplete development during the embryonic period, which leads to the appearance of cysts in the tongue. The best cure is surgical resection. Because surgery is required, the child must be two years old before the removal surgery can be performed. Next, let’s take a look at what anti-inflammatory drugs you need to take after surgery to relieve symptoms!

The treatment method is to completely remove the cyst or fistula. The cyst or fistula must be completely removed together with the middle part of the hyoid bone, and the muscles above the hyoid bone and adjacent to it must be removed directly to the blind foramen at the root of the tongue to ensure that there will be no recurrence. Thyroglossal duct cyst refers to a congenital cyst formed in the neck due to incomplete degeneration and failure of the thyroglossal duct to disappear during the early embryonic thyroid development. Treatment: Surgery to remove the cyst or fistula. Curability: Most cases can be cured through surgical resection.

If a thyrohyoid cyst is confirmed, surgical removal is recommended within an appropriate period of time, which is currently the only effective treatment method. Infants under 2 years old or cysts that have not been infected do not need surgery for the time being. Generally, children are suitable for surgical removal of thyrohyoid cysts when they are over 2 years old. During the operation, in addition to removing the cyst, a portion of the hyoid bone (at least 1 cm) is also removed. If branches are found during the operation, they should be removed as well. Clinically, if the child only has the cyst removed without removing part of the hyoid bone, the disease will often recur after surgery. After a part of the child's hyoid bone is removed, there is no adverse effect on the child's future language development.

Thyroglossal cyst is a congenital cyst formed by incomplete degeneration of the thyroglossal duct during the embryonic period. The main symptom is the appearance of a swelling in the neck. The swelling is relatively fixed and cannot move upward or left and right, but it moves upward when swallowing or sticking out the tongue. A cord can be felt connecting the cyst to the hyoid bone. Cysts may rupture and form fistulas. This thyrohyoid cyst is not effectively treated with medication and is only treated with surgery, which can be performed in any second-level or above hospital.
