Recently, Ms. Wang from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, went to the hospital because of a sore throat. Doctor's advice: In the case of laryngology surgery, it is still very common to use ice compress or eat popsicles to relieve sore throat. For example, after tonsillectomy or neck surgery, the doctor will advise the patient to apply ice to the neck or gargle with ice water to stop bleeding and relieve pain. ? Finally, Ms. Wang was diagnosed with tonsillitis, and the doctor suggested eating popsicles to relieve it.

Some people may wonder, since popsicles can relieve sore throat, can popsicles play a role in reducing swelling? The answer is yes, popsicles can reduce swelling. After tonsillitis, there will be obvious burning sensation and sore throat. Some doctors will advise patients to put popsicles in their mouths, which can effectively reduce swelling and relieve pain. Although popsicles can relieve swelling and pain, they should not be eaten more. Especially for some people with bad stomach, eating too many popsicles can easily lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea, and they can't eat any more. If you eat too much, you will get the opposite result. Patients with tonsillitis should not only eat popsicles properly, but also actively diminish inflammation. The use of popsicles to relieve pain only plays an auxiliary role. If tonsillitis wants to be cured, it still depends on drug treatment.

First, popsicles can reduce swelling. Ice has the function of detumescence and is suitable for soft tissue injury caused by trauma or local hematoma. Because local cooling can inhibit the expansion of hematoma, it has an auxiliary swelling effect.

Second, you can't eat more popsicles. The doctor suggested that although eating popsicles can relieve sore throat, it should not be overdosed at one time and must be eaten under the condition of ensuring normal gastrointestinal function. Otherwise, eating too much is easy to have diarrhea and abdominal pain, which is not worth the loss.

Third, patients with tonsillitis need to take the initiative to reduce inflammation. The most important thing for patients with tonsillitis is to go to the hospital for active treatment and diminish inflammation according to the doctor's method, otherwise the area of inflammation will only continue to expand and the condition will become more and more serious. The popsicle cooling is only an auxiliary function and has no effect on treating tonsils.
