Follicular laryngitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute follicular pharyngolaryngitis is mainly characterized by burning, swelling, cough and other symptoms of the pharynx, and generally recovers within 5 days. Chronic follicular pharyngolaryngitis is a long-term progressive disease, which is generally accompanied by symptoms such as excessive phlegm, sticky phlegm, hoarseness, cough and dyspnea.
Follicular pharyngolaryngitis is called follicular pharyngolaryngitis because when the throat encounters some irritants, it will produce an immune response and form a protective defense system, that is, laryngeal follicles. When the immune function is impaired, these hair follicles will become more vulnerable to the invasion of viruses or bacteria, causing throat infections. Therefore, we should keep indoor ventilation, wash our hands frequently, pay attention to healthy diet and prevent throat diseases in our daily life.
