How to manage enlarged tonsils



Enlarged tonsils, such as physiological, and no special symptoms generally do not need special treatment and conditioning; if it is pathologic, mainly caused by upper respiratory tract diseases, often use the appropriate drug treatment or surgical treatment.

Various upper respiratory tract diseases, common viral infections (such as the common cold), or bacterial infections (such as acute suppurative tonsillitis, etc.), can cause enlarged tonsils. Inflammatory stimuli may make it difficult for the tonsils to subside to their original size even after the infectious factors are removed, so that the accumulation or persistence of chronic infections will make the tonsils overly enlarged.

Bacterial infections can be treated with sensitive antibiotics, such as amoxicillin dispersible tablets; viral infections can be treated with buspirone anti-inflammatory tablets. If the tonsils are often recurrently inflamed, tonsillar hyperplasia and hypertrophy are more serious, and if they meet the surgical indications, they will be treated by surgical resection.

Tonsillar hypertrophy should be actively diagnosed and investigated in the hospital, by specialists to clarify the cause of the disease and assess the severity of the symptoms after standardizing the use of medication and diagnosis and treatment, so as not to cause serious consequences.
