What is Tonsillitis & Tonsillectomy?

Posted on September 5, 2019 by Jason Robles


Tonsillitis and Tonsillectomy: When a person opens his mouth there are a
lot of things you can see, one of the most important organs that help fight off infection
are among them. also known as tonsils. Tonsils are often overlooked when you open
your mouth. this is because they are often small and hiding
between the two arches. These tonsils are known as ‘Palatine tonsils’
due to their location near the Palate or the roof of the mouth. How tonsils fight off infection? The tonsils act like a sentry point for the
throat, picking up virus and bacteria particles which are breathed in or swallowed, and relaying
these to the immune system. To help with this role, the surfaces of the
tonsils are pitted with a number of little recesses, also called tonsil crypts. These increase the surface area of the tonsils,
relaying more viruses and bacteria to the immune system. How tonsils get infected? Tonsils can also become clogged up with bacteria
and food particles which can lead to problems. When this happens the tonsil itself becomes
infected and starts to get swollen due to inflammation because of infection leading
to condition known as Tonsillitis or ‘Inflammation of the tonsils’. Because the tonsils are always trapping bacteria
they can become infected quite commonly especially in children leading to condition known as
Recurrent Acute tonsillitis. Signs and symptoms of tonsillitis? The main symptom of tonsillitis is sore throat,
but since the throat and ears share the same nerves, the pain is often felt in the ears
too, this process is known as referred pain. The pain is usually worse when swallowing
also known as odynophagia. Very young children may not complain of a
sore throat but may simply refuse to eat. In addition, you may also have a cough, fever
due to infection, headache, feel sick, feel tired, and Swollen and tender glands (lymph
nodes) on the sides of the neck as well as Bad breath How tonsillitis is diagnosed? Diagnosis is based on a physical examination
of your throat. Your doctor may also take a throat culture
by gently swabbing the back of your throat. The culture will be sent to a laboratory to
identify the bacteria causing the throat infection. Treatment for tonsillitis A mild case of tonsillitis does not necessarily
require treatment, especially if a virus, such as a cold, causes it. Good rest and remaining well hydrated are
treatment of choice in such cases. Pain killer medicines can be added to relieve
the throat pain. Treatments for more severe cases of tonsillitis
may include antibiotics or a tonsillectomy. Antibiotics will be prescribed to fight a
bacterial infection. It’s important you complete the full course
of antibiotics. Tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of tonsils
to permanently end the problem of tonsillitis. Criteria for Tonsillectomy? At least seven episodes in the previous year,
at least five episodes in each of the previous two years, or at least three episodes in each
of the previous three years How tonsillectomy is done? (Dissection and Snare Method) There are multiple methods to do tonsillectomy,
one of the most commonly used is Dissection and Snare method. Steps of Dissection and Snare method:
1: Patient is placed in Rose Position 2: Boyle Davis mouth gag is introduce and

the tonsil from the peritonsillar tissue and separate its upper pole. 5.Tonsil is held at its upper pole and traction

    I had my tonsils removed when I was very young. I got ready to go to school and then couldn't breathe and was struggling. If it wasn't for my grandfather getting me to the hospital, I probably wouldn't be here today.

    Great video.

    The sound on this video is a bit distorted which makes it harder to listen to but the information is great.

    I recommend that you add a summary to the end of your videos. It would be a nice addition to an already great video series.

    I had my tonsils removed when I was in fifth grade and I was recovering. It hurt so bad when I woke up that I threw up. It hurt even worse when I was swallowing. The surgeons said that the mucus came gushing when they cut it.
