Adenoids in the child: relapse

Basically, one of the most common treatments for adenoids is a special surgical operation - adenotomy. Most often, after such an operation, children may experience relapses, that is, a repeated growth of the amygdala. The fastest growth of the pharyngeal tonsil falls on the age of children 5-6 years. The reason for the relapse at this age may be this operation performed. Since at once all the tonsils can not be removed, the rootlets can remain, which later will grow again.

The need to remove adenoids

Previously, doctors unanimously made decisions about the removal of adenoids at any age of the child. In case of repeated growth of the amygdala, an operation was immediately performed to remove it, as it was believed that the relapse itself is much more serious than the surgical intervention. In our time, doctors disagree. Anatomically, the pharyngeal tonsil performs a protective function, that is, serves as a barrier to microorganisms that get out of the environment. This can be called the first reason for the appearance of repeated overgrowth. The body is trying to reanimate the organ that serves to protect against infection. Therefore, it is often said that rational nutrition, the right airing regime and outdoor walks can promote a speedy recovery. Sometimes even such methods can avoid surgical treatment.

Frequency of occurrence of relapses

The frequency of occurrence of relapses is very high. Most often such repeated occurrences of the amygdala occur after surgery. In a large number of children after the operation, the results are positive. That is, all, for a while, "off" functions of the body are restored. There is a stabilization of nasal breathing, diseases caused by the proliferation of adenoids, are quickly cured. Restores the appearance of appetite in children, increases physical and mental activity. That is, the development of the child again becomes normal. But the statistics says that relapses in children with expanding tonsils still come back. In the risk zone are children with allergies, asthmatics, children with chronic bronchitis. Most often, the first relapse occurs due to a wrong operation. With incomplete removal of the pharyngeal tonsil, it will again proliferate. As a rule, growth in the former form occurs within 3 months. After a wrong operation, the clinic, which was before surgery, gradually begins to manifest. Difficulty of nasal breathing again, weakness. Symptoms will not return immediately, but gradually. The newest techniques of operative surgery and technology allow to significantly reduce the percentage of relapses.

Treatment of such a condition in a child is just a method that facilitates the primary state of the child. The main stages of treatment are the use of medicines and a clear execution of the doctor's methods. Since the postoperative period can pass with weak immunity, immunotherapy is used. Also desensitizing therapy is used, which will significantly reduce the risk of allergic reactions and relapse of tonsil growth. Airing the room, walking in the fresh air and general hardening of the organism will significantly accelerate the convalescence.

The most common causes of relapse in children are substandard surgery and a tendency to allergies. If the doctor does not completely remove the tonsil in the operation, then there are many chances that it will again expand. Qualitative methods of high medical technology and a highly qualified doctor will help the child recover as soon as possible. Children who suffer from frequent allergies, also in a high-risk area with relapse. This factor is laid genetically. The allergen should not go further than tonsils, therefore the organism will struggle for it and at any wrong treatment it again will expand.
