What to do about lymph follicular hyperplasia?

Usually when we talk about lymph hyperplasia, we are referring to lymph follicular hyperplasia. In fact, lymph follicular hyperplasia is not a disease, but a protective property of the lymphatic tissue itself. Usually, lymphatic hyperplasia does not need to be treated. The fundamental problem in treating it is to treat its primary disease. If the primary disease cannot be treated, the problem of lymphatic follicular hyperplasia will always exist. So how do you treat lymph follicular hyperplasia?

1. Chronic pharyngitis

(1) Acute pharyngitis turns into chronic pharyngitis due to repeated attacks or long-term untreated illness.

(2) Suffering from various nasal diseases, long-term mouth breathing and postnasal discharge, frequent irritation of the pharynx, or affected by chronic tonsillitis, dental caries, etc.

(3) Long-term excessive smoking and drinking, or stimulation by dust and harmful gases can cause this disease.

(4) Various chronic diseases, such as anemia, constipation, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation of the lower respiratory tract, etc., can cause hemorrhagic changes and may lead to this disease.

2. Treatment methods

1. Eliminate various pathogenic factors, such as treating systemic diseases and sinusitis. Pay attention to nutrition and enhance physical exercise. Avoid irritating food, tobacco and alcohol. Workers working in environments with dust or irritating gases should wear masks.

2. Take different treatment methods according to different types of pharyngitis. For local treatment, you can use compound borax solution, furacillin solution, or light salt water to gargle, or various lozenges can be taken orally. Jinsang Liyan Pills, Lepinqing oral administration, etc.

3. Hypertrophic pharyngitis can be treated with plasma cryoablation.

4. Nebulizer inhalation treatment can be performed. It has certain benefits for symptoms such as dryness and dry cough.

3. Hazards

Lymph follicles are located in the throat, connecting to the nose and ears above and the trachea and esophagus below, and are known as the "important road". It has important functions such as vocalization, resonance, breathing, swallowing, and defense. The pathological changes caused by lymph follicle hyperplasia not only cause local functional disorders in the throat, but can also affect adjacent organs and even the entire body.

The upward spread of lymph follicle hyperplasia can cause rhinitis, sinusitis, and acute otitis media, and the downward development can cause acute laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Pathogenic bacteria and their toxins entering the blood circulation can cause acute nephritis, sepsis, rheumatism, etc. If the upper respiratory tract infection is caused by a virus, it can also lead to viral myocarditis, which is extremely harmful to the body.

When lymph follicle hyperplasia occurs, local resistance decreases. When the climate changes, the heating and humidification functions of the mucosa are reduced, the activity, decomposition and phagocytosis of cilia are insufficient, and bacteria and viruses can easily stay and multiply locally to become chronic lesions. Therefore, these patients are prone to colds.

The proliferating lymphoid follicles on the posterior pharyngeal wall generally will not disappear on their own. Even if the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis disappear after treatment, the lymphoid follicles may still exist as before. In this case, no further treatment is required.
