There are lymph follicles in the throat

Lymph follicle hyperplasia is a relatively common throat disease. Many patients will feel tingling in the throat from time to time due to this disease, and have obvious difficulty swallowing, and even feel uncomfortable when drinking water. This hyperplasia can cause abnormal changes in the patient's body, but what needs to be paid attention to is to choose some appropriate and regular methods for treatment, which will not only recover quickly but also avoid some complications.

Disease hazards

The harm of lymph follicle hyperplasia to the throat: It connects to the nose and ears above and the trachea and esophagus below, and is 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, nasal polyps, frontal sinusitis, and secretory otitis media; the downward development can cause acute laryngitis, tracheitis, suppurative tonsillitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia; the entry of pathogenic bacteria and their toxins into 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 catching 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.

Treatment

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.

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.
