What to do if you have a throat hemangioma?

Hemangioma is a benign tumor and vascular malformation that can occur in many parts of the body, including the throat. Throat hemangioma needs attention. No matter where the hemangioma is, it must be treated as soon as possible. The treatment is related to the size and location of the hemangioma.

1. It is recommended to first understand the depth of the hemangioma. Shallow ones are easily scratched, leading to bleeding, suffocation, blood in sputum, lung infection and sequelae, all of which are more dangerous. Once discovered, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Laser, microwave, radiofrequency, cryotherapy and other technologies are not recommended.

2. After treatment, pay attention to short-term transient laryngeal edema that may cause suffocation, and closely observe the degree of breathing.

3. In addition, hemangiomas generally do not become malignant, so patients and parents do not need to worry too much. Of course, to treat hemangioma, you must go to a professional hospital and choose a professional doctor, because the doctor's skills and experience will directly affect the final treatment results, so the choice must be made carefully. Do not use incorrect treatment methods which may cause the affected area to continue to grow.

4. Treatment of hemangioma should take into account factors such as hemangioma type, location, and patient age. Current treatments include surgical resection, radiotherapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, sclerotherapy injection, etc., and comprehensive therapy is generally used. Temporary observation may be considered for hemangiomas in infants and young children. In a few cases, the hemangiomas may disappear on their own. If they grow rapidly, they should be surgically removed in a timely manner. The effectiveness of radiotherapy is still uncertain and it may cause cancer, so it is rarely used nowadays. At the same time, it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine such as ginsenoside Rh2 (life-protecting factor) with a single prescription content of more than 16% can enhance the body's immunity and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy. I wish you all the best. At present, you can take medication to control the disease or apply Chinese medicine externally. Drink more water and avoid eating irritating foods. Check again after one month. If the effect is not obvious, you can also consider surgical treatment.
