Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of Jinzhi Jieyin gargle on the wound surface of tonsil in children after low-temperature plasma tonsillectomy.Methods Eighty children with tonsillectomy， who received tonsillectomy in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from Nov. 2022 to Aug. 2023,were divided into an experimental group and a control group based on the principle of minimum imbalance index,with 40 cases in each group.The experimental group was rinsed with Jinzhi Jieyin gargle,and the control group was rinsed with normal saline.The pharyngeal comfort,pain,fever,wound score,oral odor,and medication compliance of the two groups were compared.Results The study showed that the pharyngeal comfort (1.90±0.71)points and medication compliance(97.5%) of the experimental group were better than that those of control group［(1.03±0.16)points and 67.5%］.The incidence of oral odor in the experimental group(7.5%) was lower than that in the control group(42.5%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in pain scores,fever proportion,or wound scores between the two groups(P>0.05).There were no adverse reactions to gargling medication in both groups.Conclusion The use of Jinzhi Jieyin gargle for low-temperature plasma tonsillectomy can improve wound comfort and medication compliance,and is suitable for use in children.
