Symptoms of chronic tonsillitis

Chronic tonsillitis is also divided into two forms: compensated and decompensated.In the first case, only local symptoms are inherent.The body is more able to cope with inflammation, so the person feels only the discomfort of in the throat.In the second case, general deterioration is noted.Also against the background of the disease can develop:

• paratonzillit;

Diagnosis takes into account the patient's complaints and the clinical laboratory test.Symptoms are unpleasant sensations in the throat, often painful, the sensations can be of a different nature: perspiration, burning, sensation of a coma in the throat.The photo shows that in the throat on the tonsils there are curd masses, they are the cause of an unpleasant odor from the mouth.

In the patient's card, you can find data on private angina.Most often, exacerbation occurs after drinking cold or hot drinks, after hypothermia and colds.Thus, the doctor must understand that such factors are not the primary cause of the disease , but as a consequence of chronic tonsillitis.

The photo shows that tonsillitis on the amygdala appears yellow dots.During an exacerbation of the given attribute is not present.This means that there is a place to have a follicular abscess.

If you press on the amygdala, then purulent contents come out of it.This happens when purulent plugs are softened.In the lacunae of the tonsils accumulate a large number of bacteria, their shape and shape can be analyzed in laboratory conditions.

Treatment of acute and chronic tonsillitis

First of all, for treatment in a hospital, it is necessary to wash lacunae of tonsils to get rid of bacteria and remove purulent plugs.At home, you will need to continue treatment and gargle with disinfectant solutions and decoctions of herbs."Miramistin" and "Chlorhexidine" are used.It is necessary to prescribe antibiotics depending on the nature of the bacteria.Many pathogens are sensitive to the drug "Rovamycin".Peniclins are effective from penicillins.

Not only the nature of the pathogen, but also the age of the patient, the frequency of exacerbations and the severity of symptoms are taken into account.The methods and effectiveness of previous treatment are evaluated.After that, further actions are planned: treat conservatively or promptly.The operation is recommended only with a decompensated form.

The treatment procedure is as follows:
