Chronic tonsillitis is mainly caused by mixed infections of bacteria or viruses, with the chronic inflammation of the tonsils often being caused by hemolytic streptococcus or Staphylococcus aureus. It is rare for chronic tonsillitis to become cancerous. The primary reason is due to the persistence of acute tonsillitis, which does not provide the conditions for cancerous changes. However, if individuals frequently consume spicy and stimulating food, or engage in smoking and drinking, this can cause local ulcers and lead to cancerous changes in the tonsils. Therefore, in daily life, if one notices cauliflower-like growths on the surface of the tonsils, special attention should be given, and a timely hospital check-up should be conducted to avoid the development of cancer.

What should be avoided in the diet for acute tonsillitis?

Acute tonsillitis is primarily caused by an acute infectious inflammation of the tonsils due to bacterial infection, which may also initially involve viral infections. The main bacteria involved are Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococcus. The dietary restrictions for acute tonsillitis mainly include the following: Firstly, in terms of diet, it is important to eat light, nutritious, and easily digestible foods. Spicy and stimulating foods such as tobacco and chili peppers should be avoided, as these irritants can cause further congestion and swelling of the mucous membranes, exacerbating the condition during the acute phase. Secondly, attention should be given to substances such as mangoes and seafood, which can cause allergies. If a patient is allergic to these substances, consuming them can trigger allergic symptoms, aggravating the clinical symptoms of acute tonsillitis and worsening the condition. Thirdly, it is important to ensure that the food consumed is neither too hot nor too cold, as extreme temperatures can affect the recovery from the illness.

How to treat chronic tonsillitis?

Chronic tonsillitis is a chronic inflammation of the tonsils, with clinically subtle symptoms, or a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, which can lead to recurrent acute attacks. The clinical treatment of chronic tonsillitis mainly focuses on local treatments, or treatments with traditional Chinese patent medicines. Local treatment may involve the use of oral rinses, local nebulization inhalation, as well as some heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese patent medicines, such as Ban Lan Gen oral liquid, Pu Di Lan oral liquid, and others that can be used for treatment; some lozenges may also be used. Apart from medication, during the chronic phase of chronic tonsillitis, due to the recurrent acute attacks of tonsillitis, surgery to remove the tonsils can be considered to prevent repeated acute attacks and subsequent secondary damage. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a clinical doctor, according to specific conditions.)

How many days of fever for chronic tonsillitis?

Chronic tonsillitis generally does not cause fever, but if chronic tonsillitis has an acute attack, it may cause fever. This situation is mainly due to an acute bacterial infection, with common symptoms including sudden sore throat, swollen tonsils, and pus formation, which may be accompanied by fever. Generally, the duration of the fever varies from person to person, typically around 3 days. During the acute episode, timely medicinal treatment should be considered, primarily with antibiotics. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medications should be considered. It is also necessary to monitor the patient's blood routine and temperature fluctuations, with regular check-ups.
