Take “tonsillitis” as an example. It is a bacterial infection or a viral infection. Some people think that the symptoms are common, so they don’t care much about it, but in fact there is a hidden super mine, which is “deep neck infection”. In the past, a young and middle-aged patient came to see a doctor. He was still chewing betel nuts when he entered the clinic, and reported that he had a sore throat. Unexpectedly, after 2 to 4 hours after seeing the doctor, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit for intubation.
The doctor speculated that the patient had a suppurative state in the neck at the beginning, but he ignored it all the time, and was willing to see a doctor until he had a severe infection. He confirmed that it was a “deep neck infection”, and he had to deal with it immediately. Pay special attention, suppuration or infection will quickly enter the mediastinum cavity along the neck fascia, the heart and lungs may be attacked, and death may occur in severe cases.
