Inflammation of tonsils includes acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis, according to the different types of choice of different therapies, including general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment. The treatment of the disease needs to follow the doctor’s prescription standardized treatment, not blindly pursue the fastest method.
1. Acute tonsillitis: need to enter the liquid diet and drink more water, strengthen nutrition and unclogging stools. When the sore throat is severe or high fever, oral antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as ibuprofen can be taken. If antibiotics are needed, penicillin should be the first choice, and the route of administration (intravenous or intramuscular) should be decided according to the severity of the disease. The type of drug used may be adjusted according to its efficacy. Glucocorticoids may be used as appropriate.
Compound borax solution, vinpocetine water or 1:5000 furacilin solution can be used for gargling. Children can gargle with warm sugar water. Alkaline gargles have the effect of dissolving viscous secretions, and vinpocetine gargles have pain-relieving effects on the pharynx. Throat tablets can also be taken as anti-inflammatory and analgesic to relieve symptoms, and can be used as iodine throat tablets, dolmifene tablets, and cidadex iodine tablets.
2. Chronic tonsillitis: the treatment of this disease should not be limited to antibacterial drugs, but should be combined with immunotherapy or anti-allergic measures, including the use of bacterial products with desensitization (such as the use of streptococcal allergens and vaccines for desensitization), as well as a variety of immune-enhancing drugs, such as injections of placenta globulin, transfer factors, and so on.
Tonsillectomy with plasma knife may be considered as an option in cases of recurrent acute exacerbations or multiple complications of peritonsillar abscesses, which have become “foci” of pathology in other organs, or are associated with pathology in neighboring organs.
After the onset of the disease, it is necessary to actively seek medical attention and follow the doctor’s instructions to regulate the use of medication and treatment.
