Lymphatic follicles at the base of the tongue are an important part of the pharyngeal lymphatic ring, and lymph is an important tissue involved in immunity. Normally, lymphatic follicles at the base of the tongue are not obvious, but when chronic inflammation occurs in the mucosa of the pharynx, lymphatic follicles become edematous and hypertrophic, which may lead to hyperplasia of lymphatic follicles at the base of the tongue. It is usually believed that lymphatic follicle hyperplasia at the root of the tongue may be caused by recurrent episodes of chronic pharyngitis that involve lymphatic follicles at the root of the tongue, or chronic tonsillitis and other upper airway pathologies that lead to long-term reflux of secretions, which may lead to lymphatic follicle hyperplasia or even inflammation at the root of the tongue, as well as the appearance of inflammation of the adenoids, tonsils, and pharynx. Patients with lymphatic follicular hyperplasia at the root of the tongue often feel a foreign body sensation in the pharynx, or experience sore throat, dry throat, itchy throat, and hoarseness. Lymphatic follicular hyperplasia at the root of the tongue may secrete more phlegm and cause odor in the throat, and excessive hyperplasia may lead to panic, shortness of breath, nausea, regurgitation and dyspnea. Patients with lymphatic follicular hyperplasia at the root of the tongue can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs by nebulized inhalation, which is useful for relieving symptoms such as dry throat and cough. For lymphatic follicular hyperplasia at the tongue root caused by environmental factors, environmental irritation should be avoided by wearing a mask and staying away from dust or irritating gas environment. For lymphatic follicular hyperplasia at the root of the tongue caused by sinusitis, chronic pharyngitis, hypertrophic pharyngitis and other diseases, you should go to the hospital in time to seek medical treatment for the original cause.
