Description
problems clarify that representpurulent fuses in the tonsils.
A bit about the glands themselves( another name for tonsils): these paired organs are present in everyone's throat, unless of course they were removed in childhood. Tonsils serve as a natural barrier to all sorts of viruses and infections transmitted by airborne droplets. But this function glands are performed only in children, for adults these organs do not play a big role, and more often, they are simply useless.
If the immune system is in order, then any infection in the oral cavity will be quickly neutralized, but with weakened health, inflammations, tonsillitis, tonsillitis occur.
Purulent plugs are original condensations consisting of the dead products of struggle of immunity with an infection. They are rounded dense formations. Sometimes plugs can reach a diameter of more than a centimeter. Judge for yourself how difficult breathing will be in this case. Not to mention the ability to swallow.
In this nutrient medium, pathogenic microorganisms feel wonderful, multiplying and continuing to give unpleasant sensations to the body. If you remove tonsils, purulent plugs are not formed anymore. Since the only place where they can arise is the sipes in the palatine tonsils.
On video purulent plugs in tonsils:
Removal of purulent plugs is a necessary measure. In no case should one turn a blind eye to this problem, so as not to get a really dangerous and serious complication. Keep in mind that if you do not fight with festering plugs, over time they can lead even to such a terrible disease as cancer of the tonsils.
Symptoms of
What are the points that can indicate that purulent plugs appeared on the tonsils?
Persistent feeling that something is hampering in the throat. The so-called "lump in the throat".To remove this sensation, the person tries to swallow, but the com in this case does not disappear.
There is an unpleasant smell of rot from the mouth. No matter how a person tries to brush his teeth, his tongue, to observe hygiene, the purulent plugs can not be removed by these methods, and the smell will not disappear anywhere.
When visually examined, white and yellow lumps appear in the indentations and on the surface of the tonsils visible to the naked eye.
In addition to the fact that the patient suffers from bad breath, there are other symptoms:
- Too fast fatigue associated with depressed immunity.
- Sore throat during swallowing.
- Most often, the temperature rises. As a rule, it keeps at around 37.5 degrees.
Most often, purulent plugs on the amygdala occur in pre-school children, as well as in younger schoolchildren. Much less common is this symptom in people under 35 years. Well, those who crossed the threshold of thirty-five years, purulent plugs are practically not at all scary. The fact is that in adults, the immune system works differently, and the tonsils no longer play the role of defender of the body against infections.
Causes of
Why do purulent plugs appear in the tonsils?
This problem can arise, as already mentioned, only in case of weakened immunity. Therefore, for the purposes of prevention, the raising of the body's level of protection, hardening and preventive measures comes to the forefront.
Purulent plugs can form on the surface of the glands, if tonsillitis has been started in its time, is not fully cured. In addition, the disease can develop if the treatment was wrong, not the means that followed.
With the temperature of
Most often, the formation of caseous plugs is accompanied by a slightly elevated temperature - the maximum reaching 37.5 degrees. What are the causes of the appearance of congestion in this case:
- launched tonsillitis;
- angina;
- supercooling;
- viral infections;
- decreased immunity.
Without the temperature
As we have already found out, the formation of purulent plugs is often accompanied by increased, though not much, temperature. However, it also happens that caseous plugs are present, but there is no temperature. Why it happens, we find out. 
The most common causes of this phenomenon are
- chronic tonsillitis;
- thrush;
- stomatitis.
The first cause( tonsillitis) leads to the formation of purulent plugs without temperature only if the immunity in a person is very much suppressed, we can say - "in the red."
In addition to the above, strongly contribute to the formation of purulent plugs the following factors:
- smoking;
- excessive consumption of alcohol;
- vitamin deficiency;
- unbalanced power supply.
How to get rid of
Let's find out by what methods and means we can get rid of purulent congestion on the tonsils.
First of all, it is necessary to give the following recommendation: when detecting purulent plugs, do not try to remove them at home."Picture" of the disease should be demonstrated to the physician in untouched form so that the specialist can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe an adequate treatment. In addition, often after independent attempts to remove pus, the lacunae( depressions) in the glands are traumatized, which leads to an even more frequent infection.
In order to get rid of festering plugs, complex treatment is most often required. That is, not just the mechanical removal of traffic jams, but also raising the immunity, and taking antiviral drugs, and rinsing.
On video tubes on tonsils treatment at home:
Very good help in the fight with purulent foci on tonsils are drops Tonzilgon. Of course, this drug can also be bought in tablets, but in this case it is better to use drops, since the liquid can act directly on the plugs, and even take a drop of the drops, unlike hard tablets. As already mentioned, the swallowing process in this case is often accompanied by unpleasant sensations.

Removing tonsils
The most radical way to eliminate the problem is the procedure of tonsillectomy - removing the glands. It is resorted to when medication does not give positive results. Usually, doctors are not in a hurry to assign this method of surgery to a child or even an adult, and resort to it only in the most extreme cases.
Indications for removal
Periodic tonsillitis occurs in the patient more than twice a year. If an adult or child has cardiac pathologies, kidney disease, rheumatism or polyarthritis, which is a complication of chronic tonsillitis. In this case, the purpose of the operation is a forced, but extremely necessary measure.
Also, surgical intervention is prescribed for night snoring, difficulties with swallowing due to the increase in glands and with malodorous "odor" from the mouth.
In the video - how the tonsils are removed:
Surgical intervention is under general anesthesia, and is one of those operations that are put on the "flow".She usually does not cause major difficulties, and complications after it are rare. Most often, the patient is discharged home after a couple of hours after the procedure, if, of course, the blood has already stopped. After a month, a mandatory follow-up examination is required from the doctor.
In addition to the radical surgical method, you can still remove purulent plugs from the tonsils in two ways:
- by hand;
- hardware.
Manual removal of
In this case, the throat is washed with a strong head of fluid from a special medical syringe. A tube is inserted on the tip of the syringe, which is injected into the throat. The procedure is carried out in outpatient sterile conditions. At once it is necessary to note, that by means of this procedure at once from all purulent stoppers to not get rid. It is necessary to wash at least five times to make the tonsils clean.
This is one of the oldest methods of dealing with caseous traffic jams, and now due to the rapid development of medical technologies, it fades into the background. Its shortcomings:
- Inability to "get" and how to clean hard-to-reach places in gaps.
- There is an opportunity to injure the delicate tissues of the tonsils and throat during the procedure.
Hardware removal of
With this method of removing purulent plugs, the doctor first "freezes" the tonsils with special medications, making them insensitive. After freezing on the tonsils, suction is based on a vacuum. Through this device through special manipulations, the contents of the abscess are stretched. 
After the procedure, the tonsils are treated with an antiseptic solution - most often Tonsilgon is used for this. And then in the lacunae of tonsils put antibacterial drug. This procedure is performed by ultrasound. The latter is also useful in itself, since it normalizes blood circulation in the affected area.
Total of such ultrasound treatments are carried out 10 sessions. This is quite enough to get rid of festering plugs. If the case is started, then after six months the course of ultrasound is repeated.
