Inflammation of the tonsils generally refers to acute tonsillitis. Tonsillitis caused by betel nut chewing is mostly due to the change of the microenvironment of the surface of the tonsils by betel nut juice, which leads to bacterial infection. First of all, we should stop chewing betel nut, and then choose general treatment, antibiotic treatment and local treatment according to the degree of illness.
1. General treatment: when the patient’s systemic symptoms are serious, it is necessary to pay attention to rest, enter a liquid diet and drink more water, strengthen nutrition and unclog the bowels. In case of severe sore throat or high fever, oral antipyretics and analgesics such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can be taken.
2. Antibiotic treatment: Reasonable application of antibiotics is the main treatment method for this disease. Penicillin should be the first choice, according to the severity of the disease, decide the route of administration (intravenous or intramuscular). It is usually used for 5-7 days. If the condition does not improve after 2 to 3 days of treatment, the cause should be analyzed and other kinds of antibiotics should be used. If the local swelling is obvious, glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone can be used for a short period of time.
3. Local treatment: available compound borax solution, vinpocetine water or 1:5000 furacilin liquid gargle. Oral tablets can also play the role of anti-inflammatory and relieve local symptoms, such as Dumiphene tablets, Xidi Iodine tablets and Jianmin throat tablets.
After the cause of the disease, we need to actively consult a doctor to clarify the condition, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
