Patient's question:
Why does the tonsil keep recurring inflammation, even after getting injections, it still doesn't improve much?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Xiao Zhen has taken medicine and received injections, but it still inflames after several days. Why is this happening? What could be the reason.
Desired help: Is there any way to get better?
Doctor's answer:
The pharyngeal region is prone to bacterial invasion and inflammation, as these bacteria may enter from the outside or hide within the tonsillar crypts. Under normal circumstances, due to the intact surface epithelium of the tonsils and the continuous secretion of mucous glands, bacteria can be expelled along with the shedding epithelial cells from the crypt openings, thus maintaining the health of the body. However, when the body's resistance increases due to reasons such as cold, dampness, overexertion, etc., bacterial adaptation is enhanced, the protective function of the tonsillar epithelium weakens, and the secretion function of the glands decreases, the tonsils will become infected with bacteria and inflamed.
