Bleeding after adenoidectomy?

summary

There are two types of adenoid hypertrophy in children: pathological and physiological. Physiological adenoid hypertrophy in children is mainly due to the continuous growth of children's body and adenoids, which is a normal process. When children are about six years old, adenoids will stop growing. Of course, if it is pathological adenoid hypertrophy in children, it is mainly caused by tonsil hyperplasia. Children with adenoid hypertrophy often have a blocked nose, so children often breathe air with their mouth open and snore when they sleep. Bleeding after adenoidectomy? Let's talk about it

Bleeding after adenoidectomy?

After adenoid hypertrophy surgery, we should follow the doctor's advice to eat regular diet, and it is not suitable to eat hard or stimulating food at the wound. So at this time of patients can be based on soft food. You can also eat more vegetables and fruits, which can be made into mud or paste to eat. In order to prevent postoperative wound bleeding, patients should be careful to eat supplements, especially those who are hungry for invigorating qi and activating blood circulation.

The patients were followed up for 2 weeks. If it is foreign children, adenoidectomy alone, can not be followed up. If tympanoplasty is performed simultaneously due to secretory otitis media, it is best to follow up every 3 months. After the operation, some children still snore and hold their breath at night, even heavier than before. Parents are very worried. It is normal to have such a situation 1-2 weeks after the operation, because there will be postoperative edema in the operation cavity, oropharyngeal swelling, nasal swelling, etc. these situations will gradually recover with the children.

But there are also a few children who snore after surgery because of hypertrophy of turbinate, or rhinitis sinusitis, or allergic rhinitis. It doesn't matter. Nasal drops or drugs for the treatment of rhinosinusitis will improve. But there are also very few children who snore after surgery because of hypertrophy of tongue, falling back of tongue root, or small jaw, or children's special obesity, I have encountered several cases of such patients, but if there is no obvious suffocation, it generally does not need special treatment, but if there is still suffocation and hypoxia, it may be more difficult to deal with these situations.

matters needing attention

It is suggested that children should pay attention to nutrition, prevent colds, improve immunity and actively treat primary diseases. With the increase of age, the adenoids will gradually shrink, the condition may be relieved or the symptoms disappear completely.
