টনসিল কি ?
টনসিল হল এক ধরনের লিম্ফয়েড টিস্যু। এতে কোনো ধরনের ইনফেকশন বা প্রদাহ হলে আমরা তাকে টনসিলাইটিস বলি। মানবদেহের দুই পাশে গলার ভিতরে একজোড়া প্যালাটাইন টনসিল থাকে, টনসিলের সংক্রমণকে আমরা প্রদাহ বলে বুঝি।অনেকেই এই সমস্যায় ভোগেন। টনসিলাইটিস 3 থেকে 14 বছর বয়সী শিশুদের মধ্যে বেশি দেখা যায়।
সাধারণ উপসর্গ হতে পারে:
গিলতে অসুবিধা
কানের ব্যথা
জ্বর এবং সর্দি
মাথাব্যথা
দুর্বলতা, ক্লান্তি বা অস্থিরতা
সাধারণত আমরা বাড়িতে নিম্নলিখিত চেষ্টা করতে পারি :
প্রচুর পরিমাণে তরল পান ।
পর্যাপ্ত বিশ্রাম গ্রহন ।
দিনে কয়েকবার গরম লবণ পানি দিয়ে গার্গল ।
মধু দিয়ে গরম পানি ।
গ্রেট করা আদা দিয়ে গরম চা ।
ধোঁয়া এড়িয়ে চলা ।
লক্ষণগুলি তীব্রতর এবং কষ্টদায়ক হলে অবশ্যই ডাক্তারের কাছে যেতে হবে ।
ডাক্তারের নির্দেশ অনুযায়ী সমস্ত অ্যান্টিবায়োটিক শেষ করা গুরুত্বপূর্ণ, এমনকি আপনি ভাল বোধ করলেও। এগুলো না নিলে সংক্রমণ আবার ফিরে আসতে পারে।
