What are the dangers of tonsil cysts?

Tonsils are an important part of the human immune system and a natural barrier of the human body that can resist some respiratory diseases. Once this line of defense is breached, it will have serious consequences. When a baby has a cold or fever, the tonsils will become inflamed, which will hinder the excretion of toxins and then cause many diseases. So, what are the dangers of tonsil cysts?

If the tonsils become inflamed repeatedly, it will hinder the excretion of toxins from the tonsils and easily become a "lesion". This tonsil "lesion" can also cause many systemic diseases, such as rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, rheumatic heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.

Tonsillectomy is necessary in the following situations: (a) Repeated acute attacks of chronic tonsillitis.

(2) Those with a history of peritonsillar abscess.

(3) Those whose tonsils are excessively enlarged, which hinders swallowing and breathing and leads to nutritional disorders.

(iv) Patients with rheumatic fever, nephritis, arthritis, rheumatic heart disease, etc., whose tonsils are suspected to be the lesions.

(V) Chronic otitis media with effusion caused by hypertrophy of tonsils and tonsils, which affects the function of Eustachian tube and is not responsive to conservative treatment.

(6) Diphtheria carriers who have not responded to conservative treatment.

(VII) Long-term low-grade fever of unknown cause and chronic inflammation of the tonsils. (VIII) Various benign tonsillar tumors; cases of malignant tumors should be selected with caution. Although tonsillectomy is a minor operation, due to its special location and function, the operation has certain risks, so it must be treated in a regular hospital.

Adults are much less likely to have tonsillitis than children. Children are more prone to enlarged tonsils. This is related to the child's development mechanism. Children's tonsils are abnormally swollen before the age of nine, and then they will slowly return to normal. Severely enlarged tonsils in children will bring a series of adverse effects to the child, such as difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, and even dangerous diseases such as snoring, tonsillitis, arthritis, nephritis, etc. Therefore, if a child has enlarged tonsils, it is necessary to detect and treat it early.

Prevention is better than treatment for tonsillitis. You should pay attention to your lifestyle and eating habits, eat more fruits and vegetables, ensure nutrition, get enough sleep every day, eat more foods containing vitamin C, pay attention to rest and keep warm, and avoid colds. Tonsillitis is not a serious disease, so patients should not feel psychologically burdened.
