Description:
The angina follicularis is an acute general infectious disease with preferential defeat of palatine tonsils. Inflammatory process can develop also in other accumulations of lymphadenoid tissue of throat and throat — in lingual, guttural, nasopharyngeal, almonds.
Angina follicularis symptoms:
Angina follicularis are characterized by more expressed clinical picture. Headache, pharyngalgia, indisposition, general weakness. Changes in blood are more considerable, than at catarral quinsy. Quite often quinsy begins a fever, temperature increase to 38 - 39 °C and above, especially at children. The high leukocytosis - 20-109/l and more with shift of a white blood count to the left and high SOE (40 - 50 mm/h) is noted. Regional lymph nodes are increased and painful at a palpation. At a faringoskopiya note the expressed hyperemia and a swelling of palatine tonsils and adjacent sites of a soft palate and palatal handles. At an angina follicularis the suppurated follicles translucent through a mucous membrane in the form of small ochroleucous bubbles are visible.
Angina follicularis reasons:
Most often contagiums are staphylococcus, a streptococcus, a pneumococcus. There are data on a possibility of viral quinsies. The contributing factors: local and general cooling, decrease in body resistance. Quinsy children of preschool and school age and adults up to 35 — 40 years, especially during the autumn and spring periods have more often.
Infection can be from the outside or own microbes. Two ways of transmission of infection of quinsy are possible: airborne and food. But most often there is an internal infection from an oral cavity or a throat (chronic to a vospalenyaa of palatine tonsils, carious teeth, etc.). Also purulent diseases of a nose and its adnexal bosoms can be a source of quinsy.
Treatment of the Angina follicularis:
Analgetics (aspirin, analginum, paracetamol, etc.) use as for fight against excessively high temperature of a body (higher than 38,5 With for the adult), a headache, and for mitigation of pain which sometimes does not allow, not only normally is, but even to drink liquid. In such cases before food accept an analgetic in advance (the tablet can be pounded; it is even better to use drugs in the form of soluble sparkling tablets or syrup – children's Panadolum, an efferalgan-UPS, etc.). If in the course of treatment of quinsy fever falls down, and pharyngalgias become quite tolerant, then it is better to cancel the specified drugs.
Sometimes therapy turns out so effective that for the 3-4th day of people begins to feel almost healthy. However is strictly forbidden to give up treatment of quinsy at this time and to come to work, to attend classes in educational institution. Inflammatory process is still not complete, many systems of an organism either are weakened, or are in a condition of considerable reorganization (including, immunity). To avoid failure of adaptive mechanisms (actually, development of complications), the recovery period which will last some more days is necessary. At this time there will be very opportunely good food, after-dinner rest, a full-fledged dream.
