TONSILLITIES AND CHRONIC TONSILLITIS ARE TREATABLE
An effective self-help method for chronic tonsillitis
This article is about self-help for chronic tonsillitis. The information provided here will help you avoid surgery to remove your tonsils, restore your health, and easily maintain your results.
The article provides comprehensive answers to questions often asked by patients with chronic tonsillitis:
Who cured chronic tonsillitis? How to cure chronic tonsillitis? How to get rid of chronic tonsillitis? How to avoid surgery to remove tonsils or tonsils? How to preserve palatine tonsils or tonsils? How to get rid of plugs and pus in the tonsils or tonsils? How to get rid of frequent throat diseases? How to get rid of fetid, foul, stale breath with chronic tonsillitis, diseases of the tonsils or tonsils? How to get rid of bad odor from the mouth, throat, nasal cavity with chronic tonsillitis, diseased tonsils or tonsils?
The tonsils (from the Latin glandulae - glands) or palatine tonsils are organs of the immune system. They are located on the threshold of the larynx, just in front of the vocal cords.
The palatine tonsil or tonsilla (from the Latin tonsilla) is designed to protect the body from the penetration of pathogenic microflora. The tonsil consists of lymphoid and reticular endothelial tissue, which are formed by immunocompetent cells. These cells study information about pathogenic bacteria and transmit it to immunocompetent cells of a different quality. As a result, the body forms an immune response to infection.
If the protective functions of the palatine tonsils are impaired, the body’s defense against bacterial infection is weakened. As a result, a person develops either acute tonsillitis or chronic tonsillitis.
Acute tonsillitis is a sore throat familiar to everyone from childhood. Chronic tonsillitis is a more serious disease than tonsillitis, although it manifests itself less violently.
Sore throat is not a disease of the palatine tonsils (tonsils). This is a disease of the whole body. Its manifestations: high temperature, fever, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, severe pain when swallowing.
With a sore throat, the entire pharyngeal ring becomes inflamed. Sometimes the tonsils become so enlarged that eating and breathing become difficult. The illness period lasts about two weeks.
Tonsillitis is caused by bacteria that settle in the lacunae (recesses) of the tonsils. They may not cause harm to the body for a long time. But under stress of any origin (emotional stress, physical or intellectual fatigue, joy, grief, irrepressible agility, euphoria), the external barriers of the immune system are weakened and bacteria begin to multiply rapidly, releasing toxins. Toxins enter the bloodstream. In turn, the body gives, although belated, a vigorous immune response.
The culprit of sore throat is staphylococcus. As a rule, it causes the above symptoms.
Typically, staphylococcal tonsillitis goes away without any special consequences for the body.
Frequent sore throats are dangerous because the risk of infection with b-hemolytic staphylococcus increases. Frequent sore throats are considered to occur when they occur more than 4 times a year.
It is b-hemolytic streptococcus that is the culprit of chronic tonsillitis. Chronic tonsillitis initially manifests itself as streptococcal tonsillitis. The course of such a sore throat is much milder than staphylococcal. The illness period is about 5-7 days. The body temperature is low, the throat does not hurt so much.
Streptococcal tonsillitis usually develops into a chronic form - chronic tonsillitis. A person may not have a sore throat for many years. But if he becomes infected with b-hemolytic streptococcus, then after a few years he will be diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis. And this is no longer a sore throat.
Chronic tonsillitis manifests itself with exacerbations several times a year. Chronic tonsillogenic intoxication of the body is characteristic. The submandibular lymph nodes are constantly enlarged and painful. There are no symptoms of tonsillitis, and the disease progresses from year to year.
The problem is a decrease in the drainage function of the tissues of the palatine tonsil and their structure. On the surface of the tonsils, lacunae become noticeable - depressions in the form of fistulas. There are especially many of them around the tonsil and at its apex. The lacunae are filled with pus. Actually, this is not pus, but caseous masses of varying degrees of density that smell disgusting.
Caseous masses stick together into lumps over time and harden. They resemble lumps of semolina porridge or cottage cheese. When the lacunae are filled with caseous plugs, they themselves exit into the oral cavity. Often the patient feels such a lump in his mouth, on his tongue. To him they resemble pieces of cottage cheese.
The process of drainage of plugs is natural for any form of sore throat. But with chronic tonsillitis, plugs appear constantly and do not have time to go away. The tonsils are not completely cleared of them.
When the gaps are filled with plugs, a tingling sensation is felt in the throat at the root of the tongue, you want to clear your throat, and tears come out of your eyes.
Many patients squeeze out tonsil plugs on their own, although this is the first thing a doctor should help with. This procedure is performed primarily in the diagnosis of chronic tonsillitis.
Pathogenic bacteria and fungi multiply in caseous plugs. They also contain toxins produced by bacteria, as well as decomposition products. They enter the bloodstream when the drainage function of the palatine tonsils is reduced. Chronic sensitization (poisoning) of the body occurs.
Due to the fact that the body’s cleansing systems must intensively fight toxins, important organs and systems of the body suffer: the heart, kidneys, and immunity.
Many patients examine their tonsils and squeeze out the plugs themselves. Using a rotating mirror, directing a beam of light into the throat, you can see the plugs. You need to use a clean spoon to remove the palatine arch that covers the tonsil, then bend the tonsil itself. At the same time, you can see gaps filled with plugs like honeycombs with drones. The procedure is greatly hampered by the gag reflex, which goes away over time.
At the first examination, at the tops of the tonsils, simply huge lumps of caseous masses are discovered. This discovery pushes patients to squeeze out the plugs. Do this in the bathroom after brushing your teeth and tongue, washing your hands with soap. Assisting themselves with a rotating mirror, patients squeeze out plugs from their tonsils (watch videos on YouTube dedicated to tonsillectomy and tonsil cleaning). At first, the gag reflex interferes, but over time it becomes significantly dull and even disappears completely.
When squeezing out the plugs, apply pressure with the index finger from bottom to top along the arch, along the side of the tonsil, along the top of the tonsil (arch and side). First, large hard lumps come out, then single small, soft ones. In this case, a certain amount of blood is released.
Of course, the fingernails are cut short. Finally, the throat is gargled with a suitable antiseptic solution.
There are many methods for treating chronic tonsillitis. When treating, perseverance and patience, as well as an integrated approach, are important. There are only two ways. The first is an operation called tonsillectomy, that is, complete removal of the tonsils. The second way is complex treatment, which consists of periodic physiotherapeutic procedures, gargling with medicinal solutions, lubricating the tonsils with medicinal solutions, and injecting the tonsils with medications.
After making a diagnosis, the doctor usually offers the patient surgery. At the same time, it shows the removed pus. The doctor informs the patient about possible complications on the kidneys and heart.
At the end of the 20th century, several devices and techniques were introduced into medical practice, which are the gold standard abroad for the treatment of chronic tonsillitis. Many developments are still Soviet. There are also many traditional medicines.
Unfortunately, in our time, surgery to remove the palatine tonsils is carried out even in cases that were treated in Soviet times. The reason for this...
Fiddling with tonsils is troublesome. Treatment consists of several courses per year, and treatment takes several years. In the future, it is necessary to maintain the achieved result.
Treatment of chronic tonsillitis is long, unpleasant, delays, languishing in queues, and the atmosphere of a clinic or hospital are depressing. The patient does not notice changes in the near future and becomes disappointed.
In most cases, with chronic tonsillitis, only temporary remission (temporary improvement in health) can be achieved. Nobody wants to be treated all the time! Although this is the only way for most.
The result is an operational pipeline.
Advanced treatment methods, practical professional and everyday advice for colleagues, relatives, acquaintances and just nice people. Nowadays, removal of palatine tonsils is the same misunderstanding (?) as excision of an uncomplicated gastric ulcer, which is successfully cured with medication.
The grounds for tonsillectomy from the point of view of official medicine are: more than 4 episodes of tonsillitis per year, subcompensated and decompensated forms of chronic tonsillitis.
The author of these lines is an opponent of surgical interventions for chronic tonsillitis. The author knows non-traumatic methods of maintaining health in chronic tonsillitis, following which leads to the cure of chronic tonsillitis.
Frequent sore throats cannot be an indication for tonsillectomy. They can be easily avoided by treating chronic tonsillitis by starting it at any time.
A decompensated form of chronic tonsillitis is attributed to all those referred for tonsillectomy, even if the patient has a milder form of tonsillitis. The decompensated form is a severe manifestation of chronic tonsillitis, which is a formal indication for surgery.
The decompensated form of chronic tonsillitis is easily converted into subcompensated. The subcompensated form is curable in 85% of cases. Any form of chronic tonsillitis can be cured and subsequently maintained in remission for as long as desired. The state of remission is a state of relative health between diseases.
Let us explain the features of different forms of chronic tonsillitis:
COMPENSATED. It is characterized by: a red throat and palatine arches, a sore throat, no changes in the heart or other organs. The person feels healthy. The compensated form is the easiest. Over the years, it can develop into more serious forms of chronic tonsillitis. When carrying out preventive measures, the patient is protected from complications.
SUBCOMPENSIBLE. It is characterized by: a red throat (pharynx) and palatine arches, watery granules on the wall of the throat, caseous plugs in the lacunae of the tonsils, enlarged submandibular lymph nodes, low immunity, frequent herpetic rashes, frequent exacerbations of tonsillitis, sore and sore throat, functional changes in the hearts.
DECOMPENSED. It is characterized by: symptoms of a subcompensated form, infectious diseases of the heart or kidneys.
Functional changes in the heart manifest themselves in the form of myocardial dystrophy (synonymous with myocardiopathy) of varying severity. They arise due to the fact that toxins enter the circulatory system from the palatine tonsils. The liver neutralizes toxins (still not enough) and reduces the production of ATP (the carrier of energy for biochemical processes) and vitamins B1 and B6, which are necessary to ensure normal functioning of the myocardium (heart muscle). As a result, the nutrition of the myocardium is insufficient and the myocardium becomes thinner, the left ventricle of the heart stretches and enlarges (hypertrophies).
With myocardiopathy, the heart cannot cope even with small loads. Running, climbing stairs, sudden changes in body position, physical exercise or physical work cause an increase in blood pressure, shortness of breath, tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), dizziness, and nausea. The patient may lose consciousness. A dull, squeezing, aching or stabbing pain is felt in the area of the heart. Also, my heart hurts when the weather changes.
Mild myocardial dystrophy occurs after each angina and goes away on its own within a few weeks. That is why they are exempted from physical education classes at school for one month.
Treatment of myocardial dystrophy should be carried out simultaneously with the treatment of chronic tonsillitis. As a rule, tonsillectomy is suggested, depending on the condition of the heart, either before treatment or after treatment of myocardial dystrophy. Injections of ATP or vitamins B1 and B6 are prescribed. Sometimes ATP is replaced with Riboxin tablets, and vitamins B1 and B6 are replaced with multivitamin tablets. Myocardial dystrophy is the most harmless heart disease and can be successfully treated on an outpatient basis.
Treatment of myocardiopathy of tonsillogenic origin is 100% successful. If chronic tonsillitis is not treated or the achieved result is not maintained, the disease returns and gets worse.
In chronic tonsillitis, a blood test shows the presence of an inflammatory process in the body. With adequate treatment, after two months the tests return to normal and the patient feels healthy. At the same time, outwardly the throat appears to be sore to the ignorant. By this time, plugs in the tonsils stop accumulating. If during treatment you periodically remove plugs from the tonsils, you can notice how their number decreases day by day. By the end of the second month of treatment, single small soft plugs are found in the tonsils, which is close to normal. This indicates health - remission has occurred. Under such circumstances, surgery is not prescribed. Otherwise it's...
If you do not carry out supportive measures, then after 1-2 months chronic tonsillitis returns, and subsequently myocardial dystrophy.
Subcompensated chronic tonsillitis is curable in 85% of cases. You need to not be lazy, maintain a state of remission.
The decompensated form of chronic tonsillitis is characterized by frequent exacerbations (sometimes every 2-4 weeks). It is accompanied by severe infectious heart diseases (myocarditis, endocarditis). Treatment is carried out in a hospital setting and consists of long-term use of antibiotics.
For such indications, removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) is strongly recommended. Until the heart and kidneys are completely cured, there can be no talk of any operation. As a result of the operation, extensive wounds appear in the throat, which fester. Sometimes severe intoxication begins - the patient experiences one of the most severe sore throats in his life.
After the operation, all diseases associated with chronic tonsillitis gradually disappear. True, the operation will not save you from throat infections, which are limited only to soreness and soreness in the throat, and hoarseness.
Many who have undergone a tonsillectomy regret that they agreed to the operation and would not agree to the operation a second time. It's better to be treated for the rest of your life.
Unidentified and gullible people fall for this operation. For some, the damage done to the psyche is irreparable. Many people develop depression and mental disorders worsen.
By curing heart and kidney diseases, curing chronic tonsillitis, maintaining a healthy throat, you can avoid surgery and protect your psyche from injury. The joy of defeating a disease is incomparable to any other.
Fortunately, there are now many private medical centers where you can improve your health. But not all use advanced treatment methods. Many offer surgical interventions and provide good anesthesia and anesthesia. But tonsillectomy still remains barbaric.
Sometimes during the operation the patient loses a lot of blood. Bleeding may continue in both the mouth and nose for three days. Blood clots. The throat is very sore. If there is significant bleeding in the throat, sew with thread. After healing, scars form. You can't eat or drink for several days. High temperature, severe intoxication and all kinds of everyday inconveniences. Some patients feel incredibly sick.
The patient is encouraged to have a tonsillectomy. Many doctors have personal experience with tonsillectomy.
A patient with chronic tonsillitis has not received systematic, adequate treatment for years. For any form of chronic tonsillitis, 2 months of treatment is enough to reach a level of relative health and 3-6 months of support to get 3-6 months of remission. The treatment is not burdensome and no more difficult than brushing your teeth every day.
Tonsillectomy can lead to the loss of your singing voice, and sometimes your voice altogether.
To everyone who values their voice, who sings and loves to sing: do not remove your tonsils, do not agree to a tonsillectomy - you will lose your voice. Everything or almost everything can be treated. Chronic tonsillitis can be easily treated with a regimen, diligence, will, perseverance, and faith in victory over the disease. The main thing: no operations. The day you were treated, the day you were healthy.
Most of those who have had their tonsils removed regret the experience. Before surgery, treatment seems unsuccessful; there is no patience to wait for the result. After the operation, often by accident, the patient learns effective treatment methods, but it is too late - no pill will help.
The subject “Patient Psychology” is taught in medical universities...
You cannot cut something off from a person without any consequences for him. If the removed organ does not hurt, then the soul does. I would like remote organs, scars, scars on the skin to regenerate...
Many things are being treated and healed these days. You need to find your own doctor, your own method.
Often the patient is blind, picky, scared, dissatisfied, touchy, irritated. He does not notice positive changes, does not know the truth about his illness.
Study your illness, listen to yourself, work on your health. Whatever helps, even a little, is what you will be treated for for a long time.
Chronic tonsillitis can be cured with the most available means. The state of remission can be maintained for as long as desired.
Diseases of the ear, nose and throat require special attention. The fact is that most of them are misconceived as minor diseases that do not interfere with sports. This opinion is mainly due to the fact that in a number of these diseases, for example, chronic inflammation of the tonsils (chronic tonsillitis), complaints may be absent for some time. In reality, ear, nose and throat diseases are far from harmless. In chronic inflammatory diseases of these organs, foci of infection are created that have a detrimental effect on the body. One of the main mechanisms of this effect is the absorption of waste products of harmful microorganisms, called toxins. Foci of chronic infection reduce the body's resistance to infections, create allergies, which can cause serious diseases, such as rheumatism, glomerulonephritis, etc. In this regard, acute tonsillitis, i.e., and chronic tonsillitis, are of particular importance.

Angina(from Latin ango - to choke, squeeze) - an acute infectious disease in which local inflammation occurs mainly in the pharyngeal tonsils. Infection (streptococci, staphylococci, etc.) most often occurs by airborne droplets or through food. Based on the severity of local and general phenomena and the nature of the course of the disease, catarrhal, follicular, lacunar and phlegmonous tonsillitis are distinguished. Sore throat is caused by local and general cooling, vitamin deficiencies, frequent overwork, etc.

The incubation period is short - from several hours to several days. In the prodromal period, general malaise and a feeling of awkwardness in the throat when swallowing are noted; with developed sore throat - sore throat when swallowing, fever, general malaise, headache, muscle aches. Sore throat does not create lasting immunity, so you can get sick with it more than once.
Every sore throat is fraught with serious complications that arise against the background of sensitization, which lasts after a sore throat for several weeks. Among the most common and dangerous complications of tonsillitis are endocarditis, myocarditis, glomerulonephritis, arthritis, etc.

Training after a sore throat can be started no earlier than 10-12 days after recovery, with great precautions and after a special examination (urinalysis, ECG, etc.). The load should initially be significantly reduced compared to what was used before the disease, and it should be increased gradually.

Chronic tonsillitis occurs as a result of single or repeated tonsillitis, but can also be a consequence of other infectious diseases (scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, etc.).

Local symptoms of chronic tonsillitis are sensations of dryness and burning in the throat. Common symptoms include sometimes low-grade fever and fatigue.

The occurrence of both acute and chronic tonsillitis is facilitated by a persistent violation of nasal breathing, which can be caused by a curvature of the nasal septum, enlargement of the nasopharyngeal tonsil, etc. Constant breathing through the mouth causes cooling and drying of the pharyngeal mucosa, as a result of which the vascular, immunological and other protective reactions of it are disrupted. mucous membrane. In addition, with constant mouth breathing, the danger of microbes directly entering the pharynx from the environment increases, which increases the likelihood of acute and chronic tonsillitis.

In the prevention of acute and chronic tonsillitis in athletes, hardening and developing the skill of nasal breathing is important. During physical activity, it is not always possible to provide a large volume of ventilation solely through nasal breathing. However, in all cases when mouth breathing is not necessary due to stress conditions, you must breathe through the nose. It is very useful after training to rinse your mouth and throat with a weak solution or at least clean warm water.

Sore throat or acute tonsillitis is a common infectious disease.

More often, sore throat is called inflammation of the tonsils. The palatine tonsils reach full development in the second year of human life. After ten years, you can notice how they gradually begin to decrease in size, although the size of the tonsils is not a sign of tonsillitis.

Sore throat can occur as an independent disease, or it can be a symptom of another infectious disease (scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, etc.). Sometimes a sore throat occurs against the background of influenza, blood disease, typhoid, smallpox, and even vaccination.

In many cases, tonsillitis occurs as a serious illness. The temperature rises high, pain appears in the throat, throughout the body, and the general condition worsens. Thanks to modern effective treatment, the condition improves and after 7-10 days the person seems to be healthy, but there is no need to rush. Inflammation of the tonsils is an insidious disease. This is evidenced by the frequency of complications from distant organs (heart, kidneys, joints), therefore, after a sore throat, it is necessary to conduct a detailed examination of the heart and other organs before allowing you to work or train.

Many adults and children would like to play sports, which, as is known, strengthens health, willpower, character, disciplines a person, and helps to fulfill a dream. Unfortunately, weakened by frequent colds, sore throats and other diseases, they usually cannot withstand heavy muscular and psychological stress.

If a doctor diagnoses an athlete with “chronic tonsillitis”, but without frequent exacerbations and complications from other organs, you can try to treat with conservative methods. Thus, children who are athletes are treated more often. One sore throat per year is a common disease and such an athlete is under special supervision.

It is almost always difficult to treat highly qualified athletes conservatively. He needs a lot of time to visit the clinic, sports clinic or other medical institutions, receive various procedures, which leads to missed training and important competitions. In sports medicine, the problem of treating tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis is one of the most pressing.

The beneficial function of the tonsils has been debated for many years. Whatever solution scientists come to, one thing is clear. If the tonsils are a potential source of infection, leading to frequent diseases of the upper respiratory tract, disorders of the heart, kidneys, joints, there should be one solution - tonsillectomy, i.e. removal of tonsils.

It is known that playing sports strengthens the immune system, resistance to disease, and creates a beautiful athletic appearance. But few people know that when an athlete is at the peak of his athletic form, during important competitions, the Olympics, due to heavy physical and, especially psychological stress (anxiety, stress, anxiety), his immunity decreases. There is no guarantee that any disease, even a mild one, will not last long and will pass without complications. Thus, if indicated, removal of tonsils is necessary for highly qualified athletes. It is better to do it in the off-season, but the ideal time is autumn - spring. The operation, as a rule, does not have any negative consequences. On the contrary, athletic performance increases, general and special training increases, and some so-called metatonsillar complications decrease or completely disappear.

To prevent sore throat and upper respiratory tract diseases, the simplest procedures are recommended. A person brushes his teeth all his life and does not consider it a burdensome task. Daily (at any time of the year) rinsing the nose and nasopharynx, irrigating the tonsils, which takes no more than ten minutes, has a very good effect. For washing, various herbal tinctures are used (chamomile, eucalyptus, calendula, chlorophyllipt, etc.).

Currently, sea water is more often used for prevention and treatment. For the nose and nasopharynx, low concentration sea salt solutions. Hypertonic solutions are used for irrigation, washing, rinsing the tonsils and the back wall of the pharynx. One example is “Aqua Maris” for the throat in the form of an aerosol, which is available and sold in any pharmacy.

Be healthy.

A new football club is looking for a team doctor. Urgently.
Season starts in 10 days 414
Hello everyone, everyone, everywhere! Today we will move away from our usual “technical” topics in the development of our body and talk about this type of activity, such as training after illness. We will analyze in detail and answer the following questions: is it worth showing your nose in the gym at all, how to enter the training process as effectively as possible, how to reduce the time spent in the “non-standing” state, and others from the “how to” series.
I want to warn you right away that you won’t see a ton of symbols here. (phew, finally :)) and some super unusual secrets, everything will be quite simple, but tasteful. So, get your Teraflu mug and blanket ready, let's get started.

Flu and colds: training after illness
In the first lines of this article, I want to say that we owe it to one of our readers, who, using magical tools - a computer keyboard and, asked a question that interested him about training after illness. Actually this is the letter.
This note will serve as the answer.
I have never hidden my universal respect for my readers - people who are interested in sports in all its manifestations. This time I decided to go even further, and in order not to “mess up” the mail, I decided to dedicate this material to the answer. In addition, the topic of the letter - training after illness, seemed to me very lively, interesting and relevant, especially since it’s holiday season, flu, acute respiratory infections and other cholera :). Well, because... These misfortunes usually strike at the most inopportune moment, so you need to know how to effectively deal with them and, in general, how to enter the training process after them if you are doing fitness or lifting weights. After reading this note, you will develop a strong immunity to all infections and find out how you need to start your training, and whether it’s even possible to turn over when the disease has covered you with a copper basin.
Well, let's go find out...
Training after illness: theory of the issue
Cough, runny nose, headache, I think you are familiar with all these symptoms of the disease firsthand. But if a worldly person can afford to take a ballot at work and be mowed down for a few days (so to speak, take a break from the authorities), then for a regime person (which for the most part are all sports people, bodybuilders,)– this is the most unwanted and disgusting attack. Why? Everything is very simple.
In the gym you have specific goals, you conduct classes in accordance with your goals, eat right, rest as expected and then bam, you fall ill in one minute and the whole regime is down the drain :). However, this is not the most offensive thing, the most important thing is the loss of mood, some training indicators (strength, endurance, etc.) and in some cases even a conditioned body shape. Long-term illness ( 3-4 weeks) can throw you back a long way, and you’ll have to start all over again.
That is why almost all athletes try to make every effort to avoid various “home-bedridden” infections, and especially not end up in a hospital bed. However, we do not live in an incubator, but in a society, and no matter how hard you try, sometimes you catch an infection from someone else. Also, the person himself can slightly weaken control, and the very next day he will fall down with a fever; in general, no one is immune from this.
So, let's imagine a situation where we (going to the gym three times a week) suddenly we wake up in the morning and realize that here she is - a “fan” has come to us. We'll look at what to do next.

How do we get sick?
The most common viruses (especially during the chilly autumn) are those that are transmitted sexually by airborne droplets, these include:
flu;
ARVI/ARI;
cold:
angina;
pig.

Many people do not understand the difference between acute respiratory infections (acute respiratory disease), ARVI (acute respiratory viral infection) from the flu, and whether it exists at all. Yes, it exists, and the following image will help you understand this clearly (clickable).
A cold is an excessive proliferation of viruses that initially live in the person himself, which is caused by hypothermia of the body (cold drink, drafts, etc.). It’s very easy to grab, especially after training, when you’re all so hot, you go into the shower, dry yourself poorly and go straight out into the street, where it’s no longer summer. Or he just decided to cool off under the air conditioning and caught a cold on you.
Sore throat is an inflammation of the tonsils and pharyngeal ring, most often caused by viruses and various bacteria. Influenza is a severe viral infection that simultaneously affects the nose, throat and lungs of a person.
Note:
ARVI and acute respiratory infections differ only in that the first is caused by viruses of different families (flu, parainfluenza) from the outside, the second is most often a disease of the respiratory tract.

All these “diseases” are interconnected and can freely flow from a milder to a more complex stage and give serious complications, increasing the duration of a person’s bed. Usually the first thing you catch is the flu, then everything else can catch up :).
The symptoms of all diseases are approximately the same, and in one word they can be described as “nothing fell in the figs.” In particular, during the flu season you may have:
heat ( 39 and higher) ;
headache;
muscle pain;
aching joints;
runny nose (nose full of snot);
dry cough and sore throat.

This is such a wicked bouquet that the flu brings with it.

Well, I think you can cope with such an activity as getting sick without me, but what to do is much more interesting, and here I will be happy to help you.
So, you woke up and realized that you were “knocked up,” and there’s just killer strength training and hard work on the calendar. There may be several options for the development of events.
Option #1. Don't turn over
It implies a complete absence of physical activity, i.e. We don’t go to the gym, we don’t exercise at home either, we keep all everyday movements to a minimum.
What not to do: watch the box (more than 2 hours), hang out on the Internet, chat on Skype/phone, go to the cinema, turn on music.
What you can do: sleep 8-9 hours, cram food into yourself (minimum 4 times per day), get proper treatment (more on this later), read, think through your future training strategy - keep a training diary.
Recovery time: 5-7 days.
Option #2. Home fitness
If the brain adequately perceives incoming information, the temperature is up to 38 degrees and you really don’t want to lie down like a log, then you can replace intense training in the gym with light activity at home.

What not to do: run/jump, perform intense exercises.
What you can do: perform joint exercises, light stretches, cool-downs, do exercises with your own weight - abs, push-ups, etc. Everything is slow and calm.
Recovery time: 7-9 days.
Option #3. I'll try and go
I will say right away that this is not an option for everyone. It is suitable for ardent fans who cannot imagine even a minute without the gym and professional (including speakers) athletes. To be honest, I myself practiced just this option a couple of times, because it’s no secret that training significantly raises your emotional level, and it makes you forget all the hardships and problems of worldly life. Your painful state seems to fade into the background, and you think not about aspirin and a heating pad, but about how many approaches are left to complete. This distracts and in some cases even helps to “heal” the disease faster :).
What not to do: work with standard weights, increase intra-abdominal pressure in every possible way, perform exercises at the usual intensity, listen to the player.
What you can do: light cardio sessions on (bicycle, ellipsoid) By 5-7 minutes, work with reduced temperature 50-60% load, warm up/cool down.
Recovery time: varies (average 10 -15 days).
It is also worth understanding that to fight the infection, the body mobilizes its immune system and tries to direct all its forces to eliminate the malignancy. If you have not noticed before that the immune system zealously defends your interests in the face of illness, but on the contrary behaves sluggishly and reluctantly, then you should save your energy and not waste it on the side, i.e. in the hall. Training is a very energy-consuming process and if the body is weak (you are constantly sick, you are easy to infect), then it is better not to deplete its reserves once again and use them for restoration.
Note:

The most optimal solution for simple amateurs is options No. 1 and No. 2. Don’t worry that the disease will unsettle you and cause significant damage to your results. It has been proven that only a month's downtime can affect the reduction of an athlete's muscle mass, so a week's respite will not make a difference in the weather.

So, go over these again 3 options and think, based on your current state of health and past knowledge, about the regenerative abilities of your body, what you should choose. Whatever option you choose, without effective treatment, the process of fighting malware can drag on for several weeks.
Disease Prevention Measures
Here is a set of measures that are aimed at both prevention and direct control of the most common colds.
Prevention:
Drink plenty of fluids (men - up to 3 liters of clean water; women – more 2 liters);
Vitamin C – rub 10 powder the tablets and drink with a glass of water;
Take glutamine from the pharmacy;
Watch out for fatigue and;
Oxolinic ointment for the nose;
Eat right 4-5 once a day (vegetables, dairy products, etc.);
Rest before 8 hours per day;
Carry out wet cleaning and frequently ventilate the room;
Wash your hands frequently;
Hardening procedures (alternate cold and warm showers), visit .
Throw away your outpatient card from the clinic :)

Onion/garlic drops – squeeze out the juice, add a little honey and drop into the nose;
Iodine mesh is an effective remedy to soften and get rid of cough;
Lemon juice – cut a lemon, open your mouth wide and squeeze the juice directly onto your tonsils. Effective against sore throat;
Gargling with sea salt (1 tbsp per glass of water);
Use aerosols Kameton and Stopangin to treat the throat;

Let's say you applied some of these tips and got rid of the disease fairly quickly. Now the next stage is the correct entry into training after illness. This is what it should look like:
Give the illness a minimum of time to pass 3 day and only then go to the gym;
Warm up longer than usual - on average more 10 minutes. At first, you need to work with your cardiovascular system - prepare it for the upcoming loads after the break;
At first, give up your usual - T-shirts and shorts. Any draft can make adjustments to your training process;
Work at half intensity. You have nowhere to rush, so gradually approach your “pre-painful” indicators. Cut the number of sets in half.
Gain momentum gradually, from workout to workout: 1 training - 60% weight from usual, 2 – 70% and so on until you reach your normal routine;
And finally, a little gag (and who was all this from? :)). Interesting fact - now more 1,5 I haven’t been sick for years at all, I haven’t noticed a runny nose or cough, although I live in Siberia, where for the most part it’s winter and temperatures over 30 are normal. I'll share how I do it.
Firstly, I abandoned my medical card, i.e. She is not in my hospital, not at home, but far away, I would even say that she is virtually lost. I have no temptation or thought that if I get sick, I need to go to the clinic, i.e. all bridges have been burned.
Secondly, I always take a contrast shower after training. (1 minute - hot; 40 sec - cold and so on in a circle). Thirdly, I drink a simple vitamin drink (rosehip syrup, vitamin C, honey, lemon juice - everything is mixed in 0,6 liters of water). Well, fourthly, I dress warmly, always covering the most ventilated parts - the neck and tailbone.
Try to practice these points, and all illnesses will bypass you! That’s all, let’s summarize all this “babble”.
Afterword
Is it necessary to exercise after illness? This is the question we tried to answer today, and I think we managed to do it to the fullest extent. Listen to your body, because it is the most accurate device ever created, learn to correctly recognize its signals and make the right decisions. And then no illnesses will prevent you from achieving your goals.
On this minor note, I say goodbye to you, see you again, comrades-in-arms!
PS. Don’t pass by the individual redneck meter - social networking buttons, but generously share information with your like-minded people.

This situation is familiar to many: your throat hurts or it’s just scratchy, but at the same time you feel normal, you are full of energy, and tomorrow or even today you have another workout. Is it worth going to the gym if you feel like this? Will this harm you and is it dangerous for others? Let's find out...

What does discomfort in the throat mean?

Unpleasant sensations in the throat - tingling, soreness, pain - are almost always signs of an inflammatory process. In most adults, inflammation in the throat can be quite mild and not cause a noticeable deterioration in well-being. It is for this reason that many do not consider such symptoms to be serious enough and continue to lead a normal life with them.

Meanwhile, inflammation of the throat, although quite mild, in most cases is associated with the following diseases:

ARVIs are commonplace viruses that often do not cause any symptoms at all, sometimes lead to a sore throat, and in some cases put the victim to bed for several days. They are all highly contagious.

Fungal infections of the throat (they often occur when using antibiotics or following very strict diets).

Moreover, in approximately 90% of cases, a sore throat is associated with ARVI, 8-9% of cases with a sore throat, and only very rarely are they caused by fungi or other, more rare diseases. But they all require limited physical activity and normal recovery of the body.

And now the main thing: Both ARVI and catarrhal tonsillitis are very contagious. That is, staying with them in crowded places is unethical - this is how the patient becomes an aggressive carrier of infection.

Is it worth going to training?

We conclude: you almost never need to go to training with a sore throat. At a minimum, because visiting the hall will lead to infection of many people with whom you communicate there.

In addition, good training with full training will weaken the body in the fight against infection and further worsen the disease. At the same time, if you just relax at this time, after 1-2 days you will forget about the illness and will be able to return to the training process.

Do not forget also that if ARVI is easy enough to endure, then a sore throat, even if very mild, requires treatment. Determining that it is her is usually simple - with ARVI there is a runny nose, but with a sore throat there is none. Therefore, if you have a sore throat, but your nose is not running, you should go to the doctor so that in a few months the area of the heart muscle affected by streptococcus does not become excruciatingly painful. It is in the heart that angina gives the most dangerous complications.

And finally: resting when you have a sore throat does not mean lying on the couch at home. It will be more beneficial to dress warmly and take a walk in nature in the fresh air. This will cheer you up, help you not to completely relax, and will help you get rid of a sore throat as quickly as possible.
