How to treat oral cysts in children

Oral cysts in children are oral mucous gland cysts, which are a relatively common symptom. They are generally related to getting angry and having a poor diet. When this phenomenon occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. If it is serious, the best treatment is surgery. This is a very minor operation and will not affect the patient's health. Of course, medication is also a common treatment method.

How to treat oral cysts in children

1. Surgery

Oral mucous gland cyst is a relatively large concept. Some are located on the lips, some on the ventral side of the tongue tip, and some on the floor of the mouth and under the tongue. I don't know where your child's cyst is located. Generally, surgical removal is considered. Different locations have different surgical methods and ranges.

Surgery is currently recognized as the most effective treatment method. It is very traumatic and leaves a small scar in the mouth, which is basically not obvious, but sometimes relapses. There is also a method of local injection of drugs, but the effect is not certain. Surgical removal is recommended. The depth of laser treatment should not be controlled just right. I think surgical treatment is more accurate. A few people will have relapses, and there should be no other sequelae except scars. The main thing is that the child must cooperate, and then the surgery can be performed. The operation time is about 10-20 minutes. Because there will be no other changes, you can consider observing it first and then perform the surgery when it is appropriate.

2. Cystectomy is suitable for those whose cysts have no adhesion to the mucosa.

Cystectomy is suitable for patients with multiple recurrences or local scars, and those with adhesions of cysts to the mucosa. For those who do not want to undergo surgery, after draining out all the cyst fluid, 0.2-0.5 ml of 2% iodine tincture can be injected into the cyst cavity and left for 2-3 minutes before the iodine tincture is drained out to cause cyst fibrosis.

3. Use iodine amine drugs

For general surgical prevention and anti-infection, iodine amine drugs (such as co-trimoxazole) or drugs that mainly act on Gram-positive bacteria (such as erythromycin, mucopenicillin, etc.) are used; patients with poor physical condition or concurrent infection often use combined drugs. The more commonly used ones are: drugs that act on Gram-positive bacteria (such as penicillin) + drugs that act on Gram-negative bacteria (such as gentamicin) + drugs that act on anaerobic bacteria (such as metronidazole); for patients with severe infection or complications before and after surgery, effective antibiotics can be selected based on clinical and drug sensitivity tests.
