Tonsils 1st degree enlargement

Adenoids is a condition in which the pharyngeal tonsils are abnormally enlarged. The pharyngeal tonsils are physiological tissues that grow in the back part of the human throat (the tube that connects the oral cavity, nasal cavity, esophagus and throat). This physiological tissue is called adenoid tissue. Tonsils are collections of lymphoid tissue in the pharynx. The "tonsils" generally referred to are the palatine tonsils, which are the largest of the lymphoid tissues gathered in the pharynx. Lymphatic tissue has the same function as lymph nodes; it filters bacteria and other microorganisms from lymph fluid. The lymphatic tissue in infants is relatively small, but it will gradually develop fully between the ages of three and five, and will shrink and disappear during puberty.

Clinically, tonsil enlargement is divided into three degrees:

Grade I: Tonsillar enlargement does not extend beyond the palatine arch

II degree: beyond the pharyngeal palatine arch

Grade III: Swelling reaches the midline of the posterior pharyngeal wall.

Normal people usually have 1st and 2nd degree swelling. 3rd degree swelling can affect swallowing, breathing difficulties and snoring. Temporary swelling is normal and does not require treatment. It is not a serious inflammation. Clarithromycin is not very effective when taken orally. You can switch to cefpodoxime dispersible tablets and levofloxacin hydrochloride for active anti-inflammatory treatment. Lanqin oral liquid can continue to be taken orally. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, improve your body's metabolism, develop good habits, and pay attention to the details of your life and there won't be any big problems.
