Adults are prone to tonsil inflammation related to the anatomical structure of the tonsils themselves, but also may be related to infectious factors, immune factors, acute inflammation of neighboring organs, secondary acute infectious diseases and other reasons.
1. The structural characteristics of the tonsils themselves: the tonsil tissue has more crypts and folds, bacteria are easy to grow and reproduce in the gland, when the immune system is low, bacteria are easy to repeatedly inflammation, resulting in chronic tonsillitis.
2. Infection and immune factors: Infection by pathogenic bacteria, such as group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus, staphylococcus, streptococcus pneumoniae and so on, leading to inflammation of the tonsils. If the whole body or local immunity decreases at this time, the pathogenic bacteria invade the body or the original pathogenic bacteria multiply, it is more likely to induce tonsillitis.
3. Acute inflammation of neighboring organs: for example, rhinitis, inflammation of the floor of the mouth, acute pharyngitis and other inflammation of the palatine tonsils.
4. secondary acute infectious diseases: adults suffer from measles, scarlet fever, influenza and other infectious diseases, triggering inflammation of the tonsils.
There may be other reasons why adults are prone to tonsil inflammation, so it is recommended that they go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
