What are the dangers of follicular hyperplasia in children?

Follicular hyperplasia is a common throat disease, and many patients experience a stinging sensation in the throat. Many children nowadays are also prone to follicular hyperplasia, which is also a kind of pain for children. Moreover, this pharyngeal disease also brings a lot of harm to themselves. So, what are the dangers of follicular hyperplasia in children? Let’s find out through the following content!

Lymph follicular hyperplasia is a common pharyngeal disease. Many patients with lymph follicular hyperplasia often experience a stinging sensation in the pharynx. Although lymphoid follicle hyperplasia is a pharyngeal disease, it still causes great harm to the body. So what are the dangers of lymph follicle hyperplasia?

Lymph follicles are located in the throat, connecting to the nose and ears above and the trachea and esophagus below, and are known as the "important road". It has important functions such as vocalization, resonance, breathing, swallowing, and defense. The pathological changes caused by lymph follicle hyperplasia not only cause local functional disorders in the throat, but also affect adjacent organs and even the whole body.

The upward spread of lymph follicle hyperplasia can cause rhinitis, sinusitis, and acute otitis media, and the downward development can cause acute laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Pathogenic bacteria and their toxins entering the blood circulation can cause acute nephritis, sepsis, rheumatism, etc. If the upper respiratory tract infection is caused by a virus, it can also lead to viral myocarditis, which is extremely harmful to the body.

When lymph follicle hyperplasia occurs, local resistance decreases. When the climate changes, the heating and humidification functions of the mucosa are reduced, the activity, decomposition and phagocytosis of cilia are insufficient, and bacteria and viruses can easily stay and multiply locally to become chronic lesions. Therefore, these patients are prone to colds.

The proliferating lymphoid follicles on the posterior pharyngeal wall generally will not disappear on their own. Even if the symptoms of chronic pharyngitis disappear after treatment, the lymphoid follicles may still exist as before. In this case, no further treatment is required.

Through the introduction above, I believe you are already very clear about the dangers of follicular hyperplasia in children! If a child is found to have symptoms such as sore throat, cough, difficulty swallowing, etc., he/she should be taken to the hospital for examination in time. If it is confirmed to be follicular hyperplasia, it should be treated in time to reduce the harm to the child and reduce the child's pain.
