summary

Tonsil is often inflamed during childhood, especially in children. The incidence is also very common, so there will be tonsillectomy, so what kind of harm will there be? Let's learn about it.

What harm does tonsillectomy have

First, tonsil is the largest lymphoid tissue in pharynx. In childhood, it is an active immune organ, containing lymphocytes at various stages of development, such as T cells, B cells, phagocytes and so on. Therefore, it not only has humoral immunity, produces various immunoglobulins, but also has certain cellular immunity. After resection, the whole immune system will be destroyed, and the patient's immunity will be even lower.

Third, the immune globulin IgA (immunoglobulin A) produced by tonsil has strong immunity. It can inhibit the adhesion of bacteria to respiratory tract mucosa, inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria, and neutralize and inhibit the virus. If removed, it will cause a variety of diseases, immune decline.

Third, children's tonsil hypertrophy is a normal physiological phenomenon, if hypertrophy does not affect breathing and swallowing, does not produce serious clinical manifestations, should not be removed. Because resection may affect the local immune response and reduce the body's anti infection ability.

matters needing attention

Children's tonsillitis is a normal reaction to fight against the disease, and it is also the first line of defense of the human body against the disease, so the removal should be careful.
