Does lymphatic follicular hyperplasia require treatment?

Lymphatic follicular hyperplasia is a common pharyngeal disease, mostly caused by the corresponding proliferative reaction of the lymphatic system in the oropharynx, which is a manifestation of chronic pharyngitis, and whether lymphatic follicular hyperplasia needs to be treated needs to be judged by combining specific symptoms. If lymphoid follicular hyperplasia does not affect normal life, and there is no obvious increase in local lymph nodes and no obvious symptoms in lymphoid follicular hyperplasia, generally no treatment is needed, and it is recommended to continue observation and help patients to develop good living habits and oropharyngeal hygiene to avoid aggravation of lymphoid follicular hyperplasia. However, if the lymphatic follicular hyperplasia is more serious and causes the patient to experience dry throat, itchy throat, foreign body sensation and other pharyngeal manifestations, which affects the patient’s swallowing and vocal functions, it is recommended to give Chinese medicine such as pharyngitis tablets and silver yellow tablets as prescribed by the doctor to relieve the patient’s discomfort. In addition, if symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing and obvious foreign body sensation occur, timely treatment by microwave, laser or surgical excision is recommended. In addition, during the treatment of lymphoid follicular hyperplasia, patients should be encouraged to drink more water and avoid eating spicy and stimulating, cold and greasy foods to reduce pharyngeal irritation and thus promote recovery.
