Hypertrophic pharyngitis is a kind of chronic pharyngitis, also known as chronic proliferative pharyngitis or granular pharyngitis, which is a chronic inflammation of pharyngeal mucosa. It is often a secondary disease of chronic simple pharyngitis, and its main pathological changes are diffuse congestion and hypertrophy of mucosa, extensive proliferation of submucosal connective tissue and lymphoid tissue, proliferation of lymphatic follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall or adjacent patches, and cord-like uplift of lateral pharyngeal bundles, which are the results of the development of chronic simple pharyngitis. Smoke and dust, excessive smoking and drinking, chemical gas, systemic chronic diseases, decreased systemic resistance, chronic rhinitis and sinusitis are also common causes.
Symptoms of hypertrophic pharyngitis
1, the pharyngeal mucosa is thickened, dark red, accompanied by dilation of small blood vessels, and granular lymphoid follicles proliferate in the posterior pharyngeal wall during the process, and even fuse into pieces. The lateral pharyngeal cord thickens, and both sides protrude into the pharyngeal cavity in strips. There may be viscous or purulent secretions in the posterior pharyngeal wall.
2, similar to chronic simple pharyngitis, there may be itching, foreign body sensation, pain, dry cough, and sometimes bloodshot sputum.
Harm of hypertrophic pharyngitis
Chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis can lead to the decrease of pharyngeal resistance. When the climate changes under cold, hot, dry and wet conditions, the regulation of mucosal heating and humidification will be weakened, and the cilia activity and decomposition and phagocytosis will be insufficient. Bacteria and viruses can easily stay and multiply locally and become chronic infection focus. Therefore, these patients are prone to catch a cold and cause acute pharyngitis.
Pharyngeal infection and inflammation spread to other systems, which may be complicated with chronic laryngitis, rhinitis, otitis media, chronic trachea and bronchitis, nephritis, heart disease and so on. Long-term inflammatory secretions swallowed into the stomach can cause indigestion, esophagitis, gastritis and enteritis; Toxin absorption can cause dizziness, headache, fatigue, decreased energy, emaciation, low fever and other systemic reactions.
Treatment of hypertrophic chronic pharyngitis
In many people's understanding, since chronic pharyngitis is inflammation, it must be treated with antibiotics. But experts pointed out that this understanding is actually very wrong. Chronic pharyngitis is generally not treated with antibiotics. Because chronic pharyngitis is not a bacterial infection. Abuse of antibiotics may lead to imbalance of normal flora in throat and cause double infection. In addition, each antibiotic may cause systemic side effects, and long-term abuse will cause harm to the human body. At the same time, the abuse of antibiotics will also cause bacterial resistance, leading to more and more high-grade antibiotics, longer and longer medication time, and chronic pharyngitis is becoming more and more difficult to treat.
In patients with hypertrophic chronic pharyngitis, the lymphoid follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall can be fused into sheets, indicating that there are many lymphoid follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall, that is, the existing lymphoid follicles have been operated thoroughly, and other lymphoid follicles will continue to proliferate because of functional needs, and lymphoid follicular hyperplasia is not suitable for surgical treatment. Lymphatic tissues in our body, except swollen lymph nodes caused by tumor and tuberculosis, will gradually disappear (or return to the past) after the original inflammation is eliminated, no matter how big and hard the lymph nodes are, and so will the lymphatic follicles in the posterior pharyngeal wall. More seriously, after follicular surgery, the immune regulation function of the body is destroyed and the immunity is greatly reduced. At the same time, we have also seen many such patients. After surgical treatment, the symptoms of pharyngitis did not decrease, but the symptoms of snoring increased. During the examination, it was found that the posterior pharyngeal wall was scarred and the pharyngeal cavity was narrow due to over-treatment. As long as you catch a cold, you will often catch a cold and have a fever, which will induce follicular hyperplasia. After recurrence, patients will be more painful and more difficult to treat. In most cases, we suggest treating chronic pharyngitis with traditional Chinese medicine. For example, Bayin Liangsi tea has a unique effect on lymphofollicular hyperplasia, foreign body sensation, dry throat, itchy throat, hoarseness and cough in the posterior pharyngeal wall. In general, the effect is obvious within 7- 10 days, and the symptoms such as swelling, congestion and hoarseness of lymphoid follicles that proliferate around 1 cycle basically disappear.
Question 2: Chronic follicular pharyngitis? It is easy to breathe for a long time.
Question 3: Lymphatic follicular hyperplasia of chronic pharyngitis has not recovered for half a year. What should I do? The early education of children on water is based on the children's physique and the law of children's development in China.
Question 4: What about follicular hyperplasia of chronic pharyngitis? When I see redness, there seems to be hair follicle hyperplasia. Usually eat less Chili and fried food, drink more water, and make some herbal tea, Yeung Yi silver moon tea, mint tea, etc. , more moist my voice. Also, remember to keep your voice down.
