There are white pus spots in the throat

During the examination, if white pus spots are found in the throat, it is very likely that the patient has purulent tonsillitis. The impact of purulent tonsillitis on patients is also relatively large. If it is not treated in time, it is likely to bring unimaginable consequences to patients and greatly endanger their health. Here I will introduce to you the treatment methods for purulent tonsillitis!

1. General treatment

Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, have a bowel movement, and eat easily digestible and nutritious liquid or semi-liquid foods. People with high fever and headache can take antipyretics and analgesics. The disease is contagious and patients should be isolated appropriately.

Purulent tonsillitis is mostly caused by bacterial infection, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment is the main principle of treatment. In the past, penicillin was often used as the first choice. In recent years, the pathogenic role of bacteria and anaerobic bacteria in tonsillitis has received widespread attention. L-form bacteria have defective cell walls and are more sensitive to antibiotics than ordinary bacteria.

Pharmacological studies have shown that mycotoxins mainly act on the cell walls and can only inhibit common bacteria. L-form bacteria are obviously resistant to bluegrass. Erythromycin can inhibit the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm, but it is not easy to pass through the cell wall, so its effect on L-type bacteria is stronger than that on general bacteria.

Aminopeptides and chloramphenicol are also effective against L-type bacteria, but they have significant side effects and should be considered when using them. Metronidazole and chloramphenicol are sensitive to bacteria in anoxic environments. For critically ill patients, the synergistic effects of different antibiotics can be considered. Bacterial culture + drug sensitivity test can guide more reasonable medication.

2. Local treatment

Patients with tonsil suppuration generally have bad breath, so they can choose to use medicine to gargle to remove bad breath, and take iodine throat lozenges to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

3. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by phlegm heat inside the body, lung and stomach discomfort, and exogenous wind and fire. It should be treated by dispersing wind and heat, reducing swelling and detoxifying. Yinqiao Ganju Decoction or Qingyan Fangfu Decoction is often used.

4. Surgical treatment

If the patient has recurrent tonsil suppuration and has complications, tonsillectomy should be considered.
