Psychosomatics tonsillitis in children and adults

Tonsillitis is often confused with sore throat, although it is not exactly the same thing. Angina is indeed called acute tonsillitis, but when it comes to a chronic disease, it is not always caused by a history of angina. Children and adults with chronic tonsillitis do not always encounter viruses and bacteria that consider the cause of inflammation of the palatine and pharyngeal tonsils. This raises the question of why viruses and bacteria all surround the same, and not everyone develops tonsillitis. The answer to this question is in psychosomatic medicine.

Acute tonsillitis is a sore throat, chronic is a prolonged inflammation in the region of the pharyngeal and palatine tonsil. Tonsils act as defenders - bacteria, viruses, fungi take over, they increase during illnessand then decrease again. In chronic tonsillitis, the tonsils are enlarged almost constantly, and the periods of remission are replaced by periods of exacerbation.

This behavior of the tonsils can form after suffering a severe sore throat, after scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, and sometimes without any previous infectious diseases.

Most tonsillitis occurs in children, but it is also found in adults. Typically, the disease is dormant compensated, the infection "slumbers" and is caused by inflammation only under the influence of certain negative factors - hypothermia, a decrease in immunity. Decompensated tonsillitis is a frequent attack of sore throat, sometimes with the formation of purulent abscesses.

It is believed that Among the possible causes of the disease is a disruption of the vegetative nervous system.

In almost 80% of cases, all the facts of chronic tonsillitis are somehow related to psychosomatics. Psychosomatic medicine explains why the disease relapses. therefore in each case, when such a diagnosis is made, it is worth visiting a psychologist or psychotherapistto try to understand if you have a psychological background to tonsillitis.

Psychosomatic tonsillitis occurs when there is no visible positive effect from the treatment prescribed by the doctor. Many in this case think about the removal or partial surgical excision of the enlarged tonsil, but Before you go for an operation, you should still try to find psychogenic factors and try to eliminate them.. This will help to quickly deal with the disease, prevent recurrences in the future, as well as increase the effectiveness of traditional treatment.

Psychosomatics states that tonsillitis usually suffers people who are not able or unwilling to refuse. They do something that others are imposing on them, although they themselves do not want it.

Psychotherapists believe that these people are very dependent on the opinions of others, they do not want to fall out of society, they are afraid of losing the support and location of someone from outside. It is under this scheme that tonsillitis develops in children. They all depend on the opinions of parents, they cannot say no, they cannot revolt, and then their tonsils begin to “rebel”.

Disease in childhood and in adults almost always has the same roots - the repressed desire to be free, to speak in full voice when it is actually impossible to do so.

Tonsillitis is created by the body itself as a defense against a matter that is imposed, but which one does not feel like doing. So a person, regardless of his age, is trying to postpone an unpleasant business, the performance of duties that are not his free expression, and therefore do not give him any pleasure.

Many of them create the prerequisites for the disease themselves when they teach the child to keep silent from a very early age: “do not speak loudly”, “do not shout”, “be silent”. They think that they instill good manners in their crumbs and the useful ability to remain silent when the situation requires.

In fact, they instill in him a rather harmful and dangerous habit of “swallowing” their emotions and feelings. Then a silent, rather secretive teenager grows out of the baby, and then an adult, who is silent as usual, trying not to show anyone and not pronounce what is in his heart and tongue.

It is not difficult to guess that in order to save a child from constant relapses of tonsillitis, it is necessary not so much to begin to reckon with his opinion. If the kid does not want to go to football, but wants to draw, why not meet him? He will go on drawing with pleasure. The same approach should be adopted by adults. - do what you like, and angina retreat.
