Most adults will automatically shrink their tonsils when they reach the age of 30 to 35. However, due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, some people's tonsils may not shrink, but may increase. If the tonsils are suppurated, there is blood in the sputum, and there is obvious odor in the mouth. At the same time, submandibular lymph node enlargement and neck mass appeared. These are all signs of tumor metastasis.

Tonsillitis is mainly caused by hemolytic streptococcus, and its toxin complex is easy to invade heart valves, causing rheumatic heart disease. Therefore, repeated tonsillitis is extremely harmful to human body.

Tonsils are the structure of the pharyngeal cavity, occupying the space of the pharyngeal cavity, and the pharyngeal cavity is already very narrow. When sleeping, the tonsils droop, which makes it easier to collapse and narrow the respiratory tract. Therefore, patients with tonsillar enlargement will suffer from sleep hypoxia, which will cause damage to all organs of the body. Depending on the duration and degree of hypoxia, this damage may cause hypertension, diabetes, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction. Men can obviously show sexual dysfunction and decreased libido, while women show endocrine disorders.

Because many patients can't clearly understand the dangers of tonsillitis and tonsil hypertrophy, many people are unwilling to have tonsillectomy. Many systems of the human body are involved in immunity, not just tonsils. As an immune organ, tonsils will gradually degenerate and shrink with age, and the whole body will shrink. However, children aged 2 to 12 may suffer from brain atrophy and snoring, which will affect their physical and intellectual development. When tonsil atrophy, it will affect their physical and intellectual development, causing irreparable lifelong regret, which can not be made up later.
