What causes lymphoproliferation?

Lymph follicles are a member of the human body's lymphatic tissue. Under normal circumstances, we will not find lymph follicles. However, when there is inflammation in the pharynx, the lymph follicles will become larger. This is what we call lymphatic tissue hyperplasia. In fact, lymphatic tissue hyperplasia does not have any major impact on our body. It will only cause a foreign body sensation in the throat and does not require treatment. However, if it is serious, you need to go to the hospital. So what exactly is the cause of lymphoproliferation?

1. Causes of lymphoproliferation
