Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine cauterization, in particular to a tongue depressor which is convenient for tonsil treatment operation. Background Art

[0002] Chronic tonsillitis belongs to the category of "tonsillitis" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by the deficiency of internal organs and the inflammation of virtual fire in the throat. Over time, the evil heat blocks the throat veins, which can cause qi and blood to gather, and symptoms such as congestion and swelling of the throat appear. It is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the otorhinolaryngology department. Because it has the characteristics of repeated attacks, it brings a lot of discomfort to patients. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment is the routine of Western medicine in the treatment of chronic tonsillitis. However, clinical findings show that many such patients do not achieve ideal results with traditional Western medicine treatment plans. Most of the conservative drug treatments are antibiotics. At present, with the long-term concern of everyone for their own health and the improvement of medical awareness, many patients and parents are unwilling to accept the use of antibiotics. Surgical treatment also has safety risks, including anesthesia risks, surgical risks, and complications such as postoperative bleeding and infection. This is also a problem that many patients and parents are worried about.

[0003] The incidence of chronic tonsillitis is highest in children aged 5 to 16 years old. In the past, the treatment method was mainly surgical removal. However, since tonsils are the body's immune organs with humoral immunity and local immunity, in the past 20 years, with the development of immunology, people have been very cautious about whether to use surgery to remove chronic tonsillitis. Considering that removing all tonsils will reduce immunity, especially for children and adolescents, it is not conducive to enhancing immunity. Therefore, a new non-surgical removal therapy, namely cauterization technology, has been proposed.

[0004] Existing tonsil treatment operations require the use of a tongue depressor in conjunction with a treatment device. However, when the patient's mouth is opened by the existing tongue depressor, the patient is prone to involuntarily close the mouth, thereby affecting the doctor's tonsil treatment operation.
