The procedure for washing the tonsils is prescribed to a person who has long suffered from chronic tonsillitis. In this case, the sick person feels weakness, soreness in the throat, in the lymph nodes. Often such an event saves you from removing tonsils , so this treatment process is often carried out within the walls of the hospital. Today we will find out how the procedure for washing tonsils with a syringe is done, what its essence and dangers are, as well as what drugs can treat tonsillitis.
Why cleanse tonsils?
This is a fairly common method of therapy, which is carried out by a doctor with revealed chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Inside the glands there are many voids and passages - gaps in which, under certain circumstances, pathogenic microorganisms and dead white blood cells concentrate. These microbes are not routinely excreted, but continue to collect, adversely affecting the body.
Therefore, regular washing of the tonsils in the treatment of chronic tonsillitis is considered an effective procedure in the early days of the disease. At the same time, inflamed glands decrease in size and become denser, the patient's condition improves, the temperature returns to normal, joint pain disappears.
The most popular methods of washing are cleaning from harmful microorganisms using a syringe or a vacuum method. But we will focus only on the first treatment option, since it is more popular within the walls of a regular city hospital.
Procedure Technique
Must carry out the event specialist, since such a method in which a manual piston pump is used is traumatic. So, the doctor fills the syringe for washing the tonsils with medicine, then attaches a special cannula to the instrument, which has a curved shape. Then the doctor carefully enters it into the gland of the glands and releases from the piston pump a solution that gets under pressure into the passages and voids, thereby clearing the throat of pathogens.
Before the start of the event, the specialist treats the surface of the larynx with an anesthetic (“Lidocaine”) in order to reduce the discomfort.
During the manipulation, the patient should sit, slightly bending his head down, opening his mouth wide and sticking out his tongue. A person should try to suppress swallowing movements, as well as hold his breath after a deep breath, preferably for 10 seconds.
The glands are washed more than once, but many times, at first every day, and then every other day. The procedure lasts about 10 minutes. During it, fluid is pumped out of the voids of the tonsils, purulent plugs are cleaned, small pieces of stuck food are washed off. Also, the surface of the pharynx is sprayed with special means that stop the inflammatory process.
The course of therapy should be approximately 10-15 procedures with breaks from 1 to 3 months. Antiseptic and antibacterial drugs are introduced into the syringe for washing tonsil lacunae , which cause not only mechanical elimination of the pathological contents of the tonsils, but also inhibit the development of pathogenic flora.
Terms of use
Assembling the tip with the main tool is as follows:
1. It is necessary to take the clamping sleeve along the tube of the pointed object, and the cannula must be released.
2. On a cone of a tip of a syringe it is necessary to put on a hollow tube rather densely.
