Perianal abscess in children

Perianal abscess is a disease that occurs frequently in young and middle-aged men between the ages of 20 and 40. Children also suffer from perianal abscess. Children are in the growth and development period, and Chinese medicine will have a certain impact on them, so it is not recommended to take Chinese medicine. Depending on the condition, this is best treated with surgery, which will not have any impact on the child in the future. This article introduces the relevant content, let’s take a look.

Perianal abscess is mainly formed by suppuration caused by acute inflammation in the soft tissue around the anal canal, rectum, or surrounding tissue spaces. Therefore, it is called perianal or peri-anal abscess. Since perianal abscesses tend to rupture on their own, when children develop perianal abscesses, the treatment plan should be chosen based on the severity of the child's condition. It should be noted here that anal fistula is likely to form whether the perianal abscess ruptures spontaneously or is drained by surgery.

So what are the symptoms of perianal abscess? The main symptoms of perianal abscess are the appearance of small lumps or lumps around the anus, which cause local redness, swelling, heat and pain, constipation, difficulty urinating, irritability, crying and other symptoms. Perianal abscess can easily cause systemic symptoms in children, such as increased body temperature, decreased appetite, physical discomfort, high fever and chills, etc.

The general course of perianal abscess is about seven days, so at this time, you should choose treatment based on the severity of the disease. It should be mentioned here that since children are still young, whether Chinese medicine is taken orally or applied externally, it is unsafe for children whose organs are immature. It is recommended that it is best to avoid using Chinese medicine for treatment.

Currently, the treatment plan for infant perianal abscess needs to be selected according to the severity of the disease, but the most commonly used treatment options are local medication or surgical treatment. During the treatment period, children should pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the area around the anus clean, pay attention to diet to prevent constipation, etc., which will be beneficial to their recovery.
