What Should I Do If I Regret Having My Tonsils Removed?
Regrets about tonsillectomy generally have no specific remedies, but physical conditioning can be achieved through wound care, dietary adjustment, physical exercise, and local lubrication, with timely attention to bodily changes. Here are some suggestions:
1. Wound Care
After tonsillectomy, bleeding needs to be controlled to prevent continuous increase in local bleeding. Ice packs can be used for local icing to promote vasoconstriction.
2. Dietary Adjustment
The diet should be adjusted to mainly consist of liquid or semi-liquid foods such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, and seaweed soup. Foods that are spicy, stimulating, cold, or raw should be avoided, such as ice cream, hot pot, and spicy dishes, to prevent interference with local wound repair.
3. Physical Exercise
Regular outdoor physical activities and aerobic exercise can be performed, but intense activities should be avoided to improve physical immunity.
4. Local Lubrication
Drinking warm water regularly can help maintain local mucosal lubrication and avoid a dry state. Mouth rinsing and brushing after meals are also necessary to prevent bacterial infection.
In addition, if an infection occurs, it can be improved through medication. Drugs such as cephalexin granules, amoxicillin capsules, and azithromycin tablets can be prescribed to alleviate symptoms and exert antibacterial effects. If tonsils repeatedly become inflamed and severely affect daily life, tonsillectomy may be considered as a treatment option.
