The child's adenoids and the doctor offers an operation. Agree or not? The choice depends on many reasons, especially if the child is allergy.
Content
A pleasant removal of adenoids will not call, even if it is carried out with anesthesia: Too big stress for the kid. It is for this reason that parents often refuse. And years later tell me how «terrible adenoids who did not breathe to the child, with age disappeared by themselves».
Really after 8–9 years of adenoids begin to decrease and 12–16 years almost completely disappear. But, firstly, it does not happen to everyone, and secondly, during this time the child can seriously suffer. After all, the increasing adenoids violate the nasal breathing, which means that less oxygen flows into the body. In the inflamed form they are a hearth of a constant infection.
The most frequent complication (it is also an absolute reading to the operation) – Violation of hearing. Perhaps this is the main thing «per» Operation. Further begin only «against», Especially essential for child allergy.
«Against» №1. Removing adenoids ahead of time, we deprive the child of natural protection
Nosooplotmer Almond (adenoids) is initially intended to keep the first line of defense from microbes and viruses. So adenoids – it's not some «Thigh», And an important body that plays the last role in the formation of immunity. If you delete them too early (up to 6–8 years old) can develop allergic rhinitis or tracheobronchitis, pollinosis and even bronchial asthma. Moreover, the risk of their appearance increases many times if the child is predisposed to allergies. And in this category, children of allergies, kids with diance cheeks, those who suffered obstructive bronchitis or allergic conjunctivitis. In general, very many.
«Against» №2. One transaction can not do
Adenoid tissue is restored. On average after 4–6 months of adenoids appear again. The frequency of relapses depends on the age of the child (the earlier the operation is carried out, the faster the adenoids appear again) and from all the same body's allergic mood. Astmatics and children with other severe allergic diseases are contraindicated, as it can lead to a deterioration.
It is worth refraining from the removal of adenoids and children-«lymphitics» – Light, loose, prone to edema, in which any ARZ is accompanied by an increase in cervical and submandibular lymph nodes. Among them just a lot of children with diathesis.
«Against» No. 3. The child will not hurt less
Month or two after the operation will really be less «Socks». But from the category of often sick, the child will not be chosen now because of weakened immunity: we have deprived of its protection. Remember: adenoids are removed not to the child less sick, and to restore the nasal respiration and warning the hearing impairment.
«Against» №4. Removal does not cancel further treatment
On the contrary, the latter will become more carefully. So do not expect to get rid of the duties of the nurse. Washing, instillation, respiratory gymnastics – All this needs to be done regularly. Otherwise, after 2–3 months you can again hear from the doctor: «3rd degree adenoids».
«Against» №5. The cause of difficulty breathing may not be adenoids
And the curvature of the nasal septum, allergic rhinitis, causing edema of nasal shells, protracted inflammation in the apparent sinuses of the nose.
The most ancient way to diagnose, which still enjoy in children's clinics, – Finger study. The procedure is painful, the result is subjective. Unpleasant and rear rosicopy method, when the mirror is sticking deep into the oral cavity. The nasopharynx x-ray allows us to find out only the degree of increasing adenoids and does not give the idea of their inflammation. And here is a computed tomography or endoscopy – Methods are painless and enable with high accuracy to establish what size of adenoids and whether they need surgical treatment.
If still the final sentence – Cut, it should be borne in mind that it is better to carry out an operation to a polynomicious operation against the background of antihistamine preparations and in the autumn-winter period, when there are no allergens.
