According to the medical history, combined with the above symptoms and signs for diagnosis, rather than the size of simple tonsils, because with the increase of age, tonsils are shrinking, chronic tonsillitis is divided into three types, namely proliferative, fibrous And crypt type, so the size of the tonsils does not indicate the degree of inflammation, so it cannot be diagnosed.
Examination showed that the tonsil was chronically congested, the surface of the tonsil was uneven, scars, and it was implicated in the surrounding tissues. Sometimes the crypts were closed, showing yellow-white dots, which were covered with a thin mucous membrane or adhesion. There may be purulent secretions or cheese-like secretions at the opening of the crypt, and secretions may overflow when squeezed. The tongue and the pharyngeal arch are congested. Mandibular lymph nodes are enlarged.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
It can be differentiated from tonsil hyperemia.
Most of the tonsil-filled hypertrophy occurs when the body's resistance is reduced, and it is caused by bacteria or viruses. It is an acute onset and usually occurs in chronic tonsillitis.
