Patient's question:
Hello. I have tonsillitis. I want to know what types of tonsillitis there are? Which one is the most severe? And what precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Based on the duration of the course of the disease and the nature of the pathological changes, it is divided into two major categories: acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. Recommendations: Acute pharyngitis can be further divided into three types: acute simple pharyngitis, acute edematous pharyngitis, and acute necrotizing pharyngitis, with acute simple pharyngitis being the most common. Chronic pharyngitis is also divided into three types: chronic simple pharyngitis, chronic hyperplastic (or hypertrophic) pharyngitis, and chronic dry (or atrophic) pharyngitis.
