tonsils: comprehensive diagnosis of prevention and treatment
The occurrence of tonsilitis, a clinically common larynx disease, is associated with a number of factors and has an inexorable impact on the quality of life and health of people. Knowledge of the prevention and treatment of tonsilitis is of paramount importance, both for self-protection of high-risk populations and for the rehabilitation of patients.
I. Epidemic factors of tonsilitis
The incidence of tonsiitis is closely linked to pathogen microbial infections. In addition to bacterial infections, type B soluble streptocycoccus is the most important “corrhoea”, which is often accompanied by waves of fungus, pneumococcus, etc. And in the infected camps, nose, gland and influenza viruses are common triggers. When the resistance of the human body is at a low level, such as physical inactivity due to overwork, body-regulating imbalances due to cold air intrusion, or endocrine disorders due to chronic stress and depression, these bacteria take advantage of their presence and breed in tonsils, which in turn trigger inflammation. In addition, if adjacent organs such as nasal cavities, nasal snots or throats already exist and are not effectively controlled, inflammations are also likely to spread to the tonsils and become a “flaming thread” for the outbreak of tonsils.
II. The clinical appearance of tonsilitis
Acute tonsion inflammation and chronic tonsion inflammation are characteristics. Acute tonsilitis tends to develop, and at the beginning of the disease patients can feel a clear sense of burning pain in their throats, especially when swallowing mouths or eating, which is as severe as a knife and can even be emitted into their ears. At the same time, there are systemic stresses, such as high heat, high temperature of 39°C and even higher, associated with cold and cold, severe headaches, total appetite and incapacitation. When the tonsils are examined, they are found to be in a marked state of haemorrhage, swelling and possibly a white or yellow septide. Chronic tonsilitis appears to be “low-key”, with a long path, with patients often feeling alien to their stomachs, as if something was stuck there, coughing and not swallowing, and occasionally causing irritating coughs, and sometimes a bad smell in their mouths. The long-term swollen body of tonsils, which are no longer smooth on its surface, may have plasters formed or become condensed, squeezing it with a small amount, and a pussy secretion flowing out of the cavity.
III. The key to the prevention of tonsilitis
• Strengthening of life management: living patterns are the cornerstone of good health. A high-quality sleep of 7 – 9 hours per day should be guaranteed to allow adequate time for the restoration and adjustment of organs and systems of the body. In the diet, emphasis is placed on nutritionally balanced combinations, increasing intake of fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains and high-quality proteins, and reducing intake of high sugar, fat and salty foods in order to maintain normal body metabolic function and immuno-regulating capacity. Moderate physical exercise is essential for physical improvement, with a minimum of 150 minutes of medium-intensity sports per week, such as runaways, yoga or ball sports, promoting blood circulation and increasing body immunity. In addition, there is a need to stay away from bad life habits such as smoking and alcohol, to avoid being under stress for long periods of time and to learn to use reasonable means to relieve stress, such as meditation, deep breath or the development of hobby.
• Optimizing environmental conditions: the health of the living environment directly affects human health. Worked to clean the rooms, regularly changing bed sheets and coverings to reduce the growth of allergies such as dust and mites. Often, windows are ventilated, the freshness and circulation of indoor air is maintained and the potential for bacteria to accumulate in closed spaces is reduced. During the high-prevalence season of infectious diseases, especially in cases of influenza, access to crowded, air-traffic public places, such as malls, cinemas and so on, is minimized. Where travel is necessary for work or other necessary reasons, protective masks must be worn to reduce exposure to pathogens.
• Prevention of respiratory infections: daily increases and decreases in clothing in a timely manner in response to weather changes, and prevention of respiratory diseases such as cold caused by cooling. Inoculation against influenza, which is a highly effective preventive measure that can significantly reduce the risk of infection with influenza viruses and thus reduce the risk of tonsionitis caused by influenza, is available on its own before a high-prevalence period. Focus on personal hygiene and good practice in hand-washing, especially after exposure to public goods, coughing and sneezing, and before meals, the use of soap and mobile water to carefully wash hands in accordance with the correct method of hand-washing, and to remove bacteria contaminated with the hands.
IV. The treatment of tonsilitis
• Basic treatment measures: Basic treatment methods tend to have a good effect in mitigating symptoms for people with mild cases of tonsilitis. The first thing the patient has to do is to give the body adequate rest, to avoid overwork, to reduce the consumption of physical strength and energy and to create conditions conducive to the self-rehabilitation of the body. The daily amount of drinking water can be maintained at around 2000 ml in order to keep the mucous membranes moist and reduce pain while helping to remove toxins from the body. Eating should be based on the principles of light, soft and digestive, such as rice congee, noodles, steamed eggs, etc., and the consumption of spicy irritating foods such as peppers, peppers, coffee, etc., should be avoided in order to cause further irritation and damage to the throat. The use of salt water is also a simple, effective and supportive treatment, which can be repeated daily with warm salt water and can be used to inflammate and clean mouths and to mitigate the symptoms of abdominal discomfort.
• Drug intervention treatment: When tonsilitis is caused by viral infections, because of the limited self-restrictive nature of the infection, treatment with antibacterial drugs is usually not required, mainly in the form of treatment for the disease. For example, when a patient has a fever of more than 38.5 °C, an appropriate dose of accelerant, such as acetaminophenol or brofen, can be taken at the dose and method specified in the medical instructions to reduce body temperature and to mitigate the symptoms of discomfort associated with the fever, while taking care to observe changes in body temperature and physical reactions. In the case of the diagnosis of tonsionitis as a result of bacterial infections, timely treatment with antibacterial drugs is required. Clinically commonly used antibacterial drugs include penicillin and sepsis. In the case of Amosilin, for example, adults usually take 0.5 grams per time, every 6 – 8 hours; and propyl, 0.25 grams per adult, twice a day. The course of treatment for the use of drugs is usually 7-10 days, depending on the patient ‘ s severity, physical response and the doctor ‘ s professional judgement, and the patient must strictly comply with the medical instructions to take the medication on time and at the appropriate time, and must not increase the dose or stop the drug on his own or to prevent the bacteria from producing resistance. For patients with more severe cough symptoms, an appropriate choice is made to treat the symptoms with cough medications, such as right-to-saphine, spray Tovirin, etc., to alleviate the cough symptoms and to alleviate the suffering of the patients.
• Surgical treatment programme: For a small proportion of chronic tonsilitis patients, the surgical removal of tonsils needs to be considered if the high incidence of tonsiitis, such as the number of times per year that is more than 4 – 6 times, or the excessive fattening of the tonsi, has caused significant impairments in breathing, swallowing functions, or if it has become a stove that causes other systemic diseases, such as rheumatism arthritis, kidneys, etc. However, surgical treatment is not arbitrary and requires a comprehensive assessment of the physical condition of the patient, the severity of his/her condition and the risk of his/her pros and cons, and is carried out by a professional doctor with a strict certificate of his/her suitability.
As long as we actively take effective preventive measures in our daily lives and increase our own immunity, the risk of disease can be significantly reduced, although it is a common disease. In the event of an unfortunate illness, and without panic, access to timely medical treatment, the choice of appropriate treatment under the professional guidance of a doctor, and active cooperation in treatment, can be achieved as soon as possible to overcome the disease and restore health.
