Tonsillar hypertrophy is not always self-healing and depends on the patient’s specific situation. The cause of tonsillar hypertrophy is more complex. Most patients are infected by bacteria and viruses, especially bacterial infections, and the most common pathogens are hemolytic streptococci, staphylococci and pneumococci. If it is a child before puberty, the tonsils will gradually atrophy if the recurrent inflammation of the tonsils is controlled infrequently, and it will heal itself; if the inflammation is recurrent and tends to worsen, surgery should be performed. However, in the case of adults with enlarged tonsils, because it is difficult to make the enlarged tonsils completely swollen, and there will be frequent recurrent inflammation, and even cause pus in the tonsils, this situation can not be self-healing, and requires surgery. It is recommended to pay attention to the changes in the tonsils and go to the ENT department of the hospital as soon as possible after the symptoms of enlargement appear. The diet needs to be reasonably arranged, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods and drinking more water.
