Is tonsillitis pus-filled with pox dangerous?

Pustular tonsillitis is a common disease that does not limit the age of the disease. The disease is caused by many favorable factors and causes, which can cause local, neighboring and systemic infectious complications affecting the patient's health.

The tonsils are lymph nodes that help produce antibodies to protect the body against pathogens that enter through the food and airways. The palatine tonsils are located on either side of the pharynx and are the largest and most commonly inflamed tonsils.
Because the surface of the tonsils is not smooth, but there are cavities, so when infected, bacteria can hide for a long time in the tonsil cavity, causing local inflammation in some cavities. Pus that has been deposited for a long time in the tonsil cavity clumps into a cocoon, the essence of the nodule looks like a pus-filled pus.
Focal tonsillitis is a chronic inflammation of the tonsils on the tonsil surface with many cavities containing many substances such as peas.

Regular contact with other harmful agents such as dust, waste, environmental pollutants... also promotes the invasion and attack of bacteria.
Poor resistance, allergies: When the immune system is weak or incomplete, along with the resistance is not able to fight the disease, leading to susceptibility to tonsillitis
Having foci of infection In the throat and mouth, such as tooth decay, gingivitis, V.A., sinusitis, and due to the anatomical structure of the tonsils, there are many crevices and cavities where bacteria reside, hide and grow.
The patient does not have a habit of careful and regular oral hygiene, eating unhygienic, acute tonsillitis leads to complications of tonsillitis pus-filled pit...

A fever of about 38 degrees may appear. Red and swollen tonsils When observing, we can see that the tonsils and nasopharynx appear many white and blue pus spots. After a few days, the pus spots will automatically pop out of the inflamed area and have a very unpleasant odor. Sore throat or difficulty swallowing The lymph nodes in the neck are swollen, tender, and painful. Hoarse voice, bad breath

The symptoms of tonsillitis are usually not clear, but if not treated, it can have a significant impact on the body, some complications can be life-threatening such as:
When the pus cavity bursts causes bad breath, reduces confidence when communicating. If accompanied by an overgrowth of tonsils due to repeated inflammation, it will affect eating, breathing and speech. The pus cavity is a reservoir for bacteria, so people with tonsillitis will often have bacterial infections in the oral cavity, pharynx, otitis media and lower respiratory tract infections. The dangerous complications of purulent tonsillitis include: Local complications cause abscesses around the tonsils, systemic if severe inflammation can cause sepsis, acute glomerulonephritis...

Seborrheic tonsillitis is often considered to be treated with tonsillectomy. Medical treatment is mainly to improve the condition, treat symptoms and use antibiotics when infection is suspected or threatened.
Principles of medical treatment include:
Rest, snack, drink plenty of water . Pain relief, fever reducer: paracetamol... Antibiotics: in case of infection use β-lactam group, if allergic, use macrolide group. Drop your nose with a mild antiseptic. Gargle with warm alkaline solutions: sodium bicarbonate, sodium borate... (half a teaspoon in a glass of warm water). Use vitamins and minerals to improve health. Surgical treatment
Consider surgical treatment of tonsillectomy when the following signs are present:
Tonsillitis pus-filled cavity causes persistent bad breath. Chronic inflammation of the tonsils causes inflammation and abscesses around the tonsils. Chronic inflammation of tonsils causes rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis, pneumonia, lymphadenitis under the jaw or side of the throat... Chronic tonsillitis causes distant complications: endocarditis, glomerulonephritis, arthritis, prolonged digestive disorders, sepsis. Chronic inflammation of the tonsils is exaggerated, causing difficulty breathing, swallowing, and a voice like something in the mouth (difficulty speaking). The tonsillectomy process is not too complicated and the tonsillectomy does not affect the body's immune system, so when using conventional medical treatments, it is not possible to get rid of the tonsils, so a tonsillectomy should be considered.

Thorough treatment of inflammatory foci of the mouth and pharynx. Regularly clean your teeth. Limit exposure to places with a lot of smoke, dust, and environmental pollution. Exercise, sports, use tonics to strengthen your resistance. Tonsillitis can cause a number of dangerous complications, so when there are signs of the disease, the patient should go to a medical facility for examination and thorough treatment to avoid complications of the disease.
