Tonsillitis and pharyngitis have similar symptoms and their treatment methods should be distinguished

Tonsillitis and pharyngitis are sometimes similar in symptoms. Both are likely to cause dry eyes, a foreign body sensation in the throat, swelling and pain, etc. However, the two diseases are treated differently, so it is important to distinguish the specific symptoms and causes of the two diseases so that we can treat the disease according to its cause and avoid inappropriate treatment.

Symptoms should be distinguished

1. Chronic pharyngitis attacked his throat and made it very uncomfortable. His throat was so painful and he felt like there was a foreign body in it. He ran to the pharmacy to buy medicine, but the clerk couldn't tell whether he had pharyngitis or tonsillitis and only prescribed him an anti-inflammatory drug, which left him completely speechless.

2. Although pharyngitis, laryngitis, and tonsillitis are the most common diseases of the respiratory system, and they all have the common feature of being throat problems, the treatment methods are different because of different causes. Pharyngitis and laryngitis are mostly caused by viruses, while tonsillitis is mainly caused by bacteria.

3. Some patients who are experiencing the disease for the first time often cannot figure out whether they have pharyngitis or tonsillitis. The following will teach you how to distinguish what disease you have through a simple analysis of the symptoms.

Pharyngitis - dry throat, itchy throat, burning sensation in the throat, and dry heaving when brushing teeth in the morning.

Laryngitis - sore throat, hoarseness, swollen or tender submandibular lymph nodes.

Tonsillitis - the patient has sore throat and fever, tonsils are swollen or congested with purulent infection, and submandibular lymph nodes are swollen or tender.

Treat symptoms

1. Isn’t it simple? Once you learn it, you can easily distinguish whether you have pharyngitis or tonsillitis. In addition, for the fan who left a message, I recommended a health food therapy to him. When the symptoms are severe, drink a can of Qingyuan Gong every morning and evening. It is available on Taobao and in pharmacies. Qingyuan Gong moisturizes the throat, discharges phlegm, clears the throat, and improves and regulates the recovery of chronic pharyngitis.

2. Although the treatments for pharyngitis and tonsillitis are different, their prevention and daily precautions are the same. To prevent and treat tonsillitis and pharyngitis, you should quit smoking and drinking, improve your working environment, pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, and eat light and easily digestible food. The most important thing is to strengthen daily exercise, enhance physical fitness, improve immunity and prevent upper respiratory tract infections.
