Tonsils 3rd degree enlargement is generally not likely to return to normal. Tonsils 3 degrees enlarged, divided into physiological and pathological causes, need to be further analyzed according to the specific causes.
1. physiological tonsil enlargement: in childhood, the body’s immune system is perfect, will lead to tonsil hypertrophy compensation to produce more lymphocytes. After the age of 10 years, if the tonsils are not accompanied by inflammatory stimuli, the tonsils may shrink to some extent. If there is no effect on the patient’s breathing or sleep, no special treatment is needed.
2. Pathological tonsil enlargement
(1) Inflammatory factors: due to bacterial residues in the tonsil glands and repeated inflammatory stimulation, the probability of normalization of the 3rd degree enlarged tonsils is very small. If inflammation attacks frequently, induced immune system diseases such as chronic nephritis, endocarditis, arthritis, etc., with surgical pointers, it is recommended to timely tonsillectomy.
(2) Tumor factors: for example, tonsil lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma of tonsil, etc., which requires surgical excision or radiotherapy.
The probability of recovering to normal is extremely low when the tonsils are enlarged to the 3rd degree, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and standardize the treatment.
