What are Tonsils?
Tonsils are two oval pea-sized clusters made of lymphatic cells. They are situated in the oropharynx region, one on either side at the back of the tongue and at the opening of the throat. Tonsils are of larger size in childhood and shrink gradually with age. Efficient producers of white blood cells and antibodies, they also are a natural filter for bacteria and viruses that enter through the oral cavity.
They effectively trap any bacteria or viruses that enter our body from the food we eat and the air
we inhale through the nose. According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, Tonsils are
the ‘first line of defense as part of the immune system.’
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS & DISEASES RELATED TO TONSILS?
In the early years of life, tonsils have the tendency to flare up and get infected leading to throat pain and difficulty in swallowing. It is very commonly observed in children aged two and above. This is called Tonsillitis and can be treated with home remedies such as salt water gargling, drinking fluids, and over the counter lozenges. Bacterial Tonsillitis such as Strep Throat definitely needs to be treated by an ENT Specialist as it can lead to major complications if not addressed in time and correctly. When Tonsillitis or Strep throat persist despite medication and treatment, and when the episodes repeat often, Tonsillectomy – surgery to remove the tonsils – may become the last resort for permanent cure.
“The decision to carry out Tonsillectomy must be taken after a balanced assessment of risk and benefit”, says Dr. Shree Rao, ENT Specialist
at Dr. Rao’s ENT, a multi-superspecialty dedicated ENT hospital in Hyderabad.
WHEN IS TONSILLECTOMY OR TONSILS SURGERY RECOMMENDED?
Though Tonsillitis and the need for Tonsillectomy is more commonly seen in children and teenagers than in adults, people of any age can develop issues with their tonsils and require surgery.
Dr. Shree Rao, the best doctor for Tonsils treatment in Hyderabad, says that she recommends Tonsillectomy surgery only in instances where the propensity for health complications is very high.
SWOLLEN TONSILS
The number one reason for most tonsil surgeries being done is due to tonsils swelling to a size that obstructs the airway making it difficult to breathe, particularly while sleeping. This leads to what is called Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Over time, this will lead to chronic sleeplessness that affects regular activities during the day. In extreme cases, it can lead to heart problems in if not addressed immediately.
INFECTED TONSILS
The second most common reason for Tonsillectomy or tonsil surgery is infection or Tonsillitis. If the patient presents with severe tonsillitis at least seven times in a year, followed by more than five infections in the next two years or three infections in three years, Tonsillectomy may be recommended.
Dr. Shree Rao, renowned Tonsils Specialist in Hyderabad insists on discussing openly with parents as to whether or not a child requires tonsil surgery, what can be expected before, during and after tonsil surgery and other concerns.
