If to speak in the language of doctors, then the glands are lymphoid tissue, or rather, its accumulation between the arches of the sky. But, to put it simply, these are the tonsils, which guard our body, protecting it from the penetration of various infections, viruses and bacteria. It is the glands that are an extremely important element in the formation of the human immune system.
The glands disinfect the air and food that passes through them into the body.
Inflammation of the glands occurs if malfunctions in the immune system begin, and they are simply unable to cope with an increasing number of bacteria. The tonsils begin to swell and redden, causing significant pain, especially when swallowed. These symptoms indicate tonsillitis or tonsillitis.
Inflamed glands change not only size and shape, but also structure. There are a number of main symptoms by which to determine the development of inflammation of the tonsils :
- It is very difficult to swallow with food or drink.
- Throat “tickles”, pain appears.
- Breathing is impaired, swallowing painful.
- Weakness in the body, general lethargy, the appearance of temperature.
Inflammation of the tonsils can cause several diseases, the most common among them are acute tonsillitis and tonsillitis in a chronic form.
Angina, as a rule, occurs in the cold season (late autumn - winter - early spring), when the human body is more weakened. Angina occurs in several types:
Catarrhal . This type of tonsillitis is characterized by superficial damage to the tissues of the tonsils. The disease develops intensively, accompanied by “tickling” in the throat and dryness, weakness, muscle pain, migraine and temperature.
Follicular . This type of sore throat is accompanied by severe pain and very high fever. Very often it is accompanied by symptoms of intoxication, pain occurs in the joints and muscles. The development of follicular tonsillitis is accompanied by a white coating on the root of the tongue and purulent foci on the surface of the glands.
Tonsillitis (chronic) is a rather protracted disease in which hyperemia of the palatine arches is formed, and commissures appear connecting them with the glands. All other symptoms of this disease are largely identical to angina (follicular, catarrhal). When examining the pharynx, one can reveal the friability of the tissues of the tonsils (palatine), and the duration of the inflammatory process is fraught with an increase in lymph nodes (regional).
Inflammation of the tonsils, in particular, tonsillitis in a chronic form is diagnosed by examining the patient and taking a smear from the surface of the tonsils to identify the causative agents of the disease. Also, this disease is characteristically expressed in immunological parameters and blood tests.
If all of the above symptoms are present (even part of them), most likely it is inflammation of the glands. Untreated treatment can lead to complications from the heart, joints, muscle tissue and kidneys.
In the treatment of inflammation of the tonsils, increased immunity, the suppression of foci of inflammation and the use of antihistamine preparations (hyposensitizing therapy) are of great importance.
Inflammation of the tonsils can be cured by combining the main purpose with traditional medicine recipes.
Propolis
This bee product is an affordable and affordable way to treat any inflammation of the airways, throat or sore throat. Propolis can be chewed after each meal. For each dose, two grams of the product is enough (six grams per day). Real bee glue (propolis) causes a slight burning sensation in the mouth. If this does not happen, then the product is not natural, which will affect the treatment accordingly.
You can prepare propolis for the future, so that in case of inflammation of the tonsils, the tincture is always at hand. From ten to thirty grams of a bee product (previously frozen and crushed) should be poured with one hundred grams of alcohol (medical) and left to infuse for two weeks. The prepared composition lubricates the affected areas of the throat.
Iodine
This is the simplest and at the same time the most effective way that all types of tonsillitis, especially purulent, give in. At the end of the pencil we wind cotton and moisten in iodine solution, after which we lubricate the glands. Sometimes just once is enough for recovery.
