The main cause of
chronic tonsillitis is an inflammatory process on the tonsils. Of great importance is what level of immunity in the body is observed at the time of the initial stage of the disease. Often leads to tonsillitis improper and uncontrolled therapy of angina. For this reason, if the
first signs of the disease are detected, you should contact the otolaryngologist immediately.
Symptoms of chronic tonsillitis are manifested in the form of pain in the neck located in front of the spinal column, and an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity. Often, there is a sensation of “coma” in the throat. Symptoms of chronic tonsillitis can also occur in the form of pain in the head and ears. This is due to compression of the caseous plug in the throat with an increase in its size.
Often, symptoms of chronic tonsillitis are observed in the form of a small but long-term increase in body temperature, reduced working capacity and general weakness of the body. In this case, there is an increase in the lymph nodes that are under the jaw and are clearly palpable with painful palpation. Symptoms of chronic tonsillitis are usually most acute in the evening, and each person on their basis is able to immediately determine which disease has overcome him.
Prevention of chronic tonsillitis begins with hygiene. It is important to regularly clean the nasal and oral cavities, as well as to keep order in the living room. In addition, you should visit the dentist in a timely manner to maintain the gums and teeth in a healthy condition. In this way, the occurrence of inflammatory processes and the multiplication of numerous microorganisms can be prevented.
To prevent tonsillitis, it is necessary to clean and moisten the air in the room every day, both at home and at work. Thanks to this simple method, drying of the nasopharynx can be avoided. You also need to often wash your hands and all items used in the food intake process to limit access to the body of pathogenic microbes.
A well-balanced daily diet also prevents the development of tonsillitis. Pathogenic microflora dies under the onslaught of vitamins, fatty acids and trace elements.

Such medicines include IRS-19, Interferon, Remantadin. They have the ability to enhance the protective function in the body. Naturally, such drugs are in addition to compulsory vaccination.
