Is follicular pharyngitis serious?

Follicular pharyngitis is not serious and is a manifestation of pharyngitis, which results in diffuse congestion and edema of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and hyperplasia of lymphatic follicles. Lymphatic follicles are more obvious at the root of the tongue, posterior wall of the pharynx, epiglottis valley, and lateral cords of the pharynx, with small, reddish surface smooth granules visible on the surface, soft in texture, and without pain, which can cause dryness, itching, soreness, and foreign body sensation in the throat of the patient. This lymphatic follicle does not need special treatment because it is an important part of the pharyngeal lymphatic ring. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, quit smoking and drinking, wear a mask when going out, avoid direct stimulation by cold air, adjust healthy and scientific habits, strengthen exercise, enhance resistance, and use tablets with throat-clearing and throat-supporting functions for treatment when symptoms are obvious.
