Cryptogenic tonsillitis - tonsillitis

…Acute tonsillitis is divided into four types according to the extent and severity of inflammation. (1) Catarrhal tonsillitis: superficial inflammation mainly affecting the mucosa. (2) Follicular tonsillitis: inflammation forms small abscesses in lymph follicles or lymph nodules in the tonsillar parenchyma, and numerous yellow-white spots corresponding to the lymph follicles can be seen through the skin. (3) Crypt tonsillitis: when inflammation becomes more severe, plugs and pus accumulate in the numerous crypts of the tonsils, forming yellow-white spots corresponding to the crypts, which then fuse together to form a pseudomembrane. It can be cured by administering strong antibiotics or washing away the dirt that has accumulated in the crypts, but in cases of frequent recurring habitual angina, the tonsils should be removed. (4) Ulcerative or parenchymal tonsillitis: inflammation affects the entire tonsillar parenchyma, and the symptoms are the most severe. …
