Tonsil disease grading criteria

Tonsillar diseases are classified from the time of onset and can be divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Tonsillar hypertrophy caused by tonsillitis can be divided into three degrees.1. I degree does not exceed the pharyngeal-palatal arch: I degree tonsillar hypertrophy does not exceed the palatoglossal arch of the tonsillar crypt. If the tonsils are enlarged by I degree, there is no need for special treatment, usually avoid spicy stimulation and drink more water; 2. II degree exceeds the pharyngeal-palatal arch: II degree tonsil enlargement means that the tonsils have exceeded the palatoglossal arch and have not reached the uvula. If the tonsils are enlarged by II degree, no special treatment is generally needed, refer to I degree tonsil enlargement treatment measures; 3, III degree reaches or exceeds the posterior pharyngeal wall: III degree enlargement is tonsil enlargement reaching the uvula. If it reaches or exceeds degree III and affects ventilation and thus causes snoring or sleep apnea during sleep, it is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment. Acute tonsillitis, which is usually less than 4 weeks in duration, is mostly caused by viral or bacterial infections, and can be divided into acute simple tonsillitis and acute suppurative tonsillitis. Acute tonsillitis can be relieved by taking some anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor. The majority of those with a disease duration greater than 8 weeks are chronic tonsillitis, mostly caused by recurrent episodes of acute tonsillitis or by poor drainage of the palatine tonsillar crypt and bacterial and viral breeding infections in the crypt. It will not affect normal life. Surgical patients are usually reviewed in about 1 month.
