1, the cause of tonsillitis
Acute tonsillitis is mainly hemolytic streptococcus, followed by staphylococcus, streptococcus pneumoniae and adenovirus. It may also be a mixed infection of bacteria and viruses. Chronic tonsillitis is often caused by repeated attacks of acute tonsillitis or poor drainage of crypt, and bacterial viruses in crypt breed infection and evolve into chronic inflammation. When the body's defense ability decreases, a large number of pathogens accompany the body or are induced by external pathogens. Suffering from scarlet fever, measles, influenza, diphtheria and other acute infectious diseases. Or nasal cavity and sinus infection can also induce this disease.
Under normal circumstances, due to the integrity of the epithelium on the surface of tonsil and the continuous secretion of mucous glands, bacteria can be excreted from the crypt with exfoliated epithelial cells, thus maintaining the health of the body. When the body's resistance decreases due to cold, humidity, overwork, excessive smoking and drinking, bacterial reproduction is strengthened, tonsil epithelial defense function is weakened, and gland secretion function is reduced, bacterial infection and inflammation will occur in tonsil.
In acute inflammation, tonsil parenchyma is congested, polymorphonuclear leukocytes infiltrate, and yellow and white spots can be seen on the mucosal surface. The tonsils are obviously swollen, which can form most small abscesses. Purulent exudate composed of cellulose, exfoliated epithelium and pus cells in the fossa is discharged into the fossa, so pus spots can be seen in the tonsil fossa.
