The main reason for the appearance - the human papillomavirus (HPV), mainly falls due to non-compliance with personal hygiene. It is important to understand: if a pregnant woman is infected with a virus, she will transfer it even to the unborn child.

• Mycoplasmosis;
• Chlamydia;
• HIV;

And also if the pregnant woman underwent radiation exposure or took embryotoxic drugs.

To get into the body of a child after birth or an adult human virus can with a weak immune system, the presence of some infectious and chronic diseases. The influence of tobacco smoke and poor working conditions, voice loads also have an adverse effect.

Treatment and Diagnosis

To establish an accurate diagnosis, a visual examination is sufficient in the doctor's office. The neoplasm is covered with a mucous membrane and it develops rather slowly, without disturbing the patient in particular. Confuse the papilloma can be with enlarged tonsils. A biopsy with such a virus is not required.

A good result can be achieved only from timely and comprehensive treatment. Removal of outgrowths in the mouth is an obligatory procedure, which is carried out at the first stage of treatment. Medication to cope with the problem does not work, only surgical measures will be required. Even one such tumor can spread throughout the body. At home, it is not worth trying to cope with the disease. Do this only a specialist with experience.

Drugs for treatment

To combat the virus and prevent its growth, such drugs are prescribed:

• "Interferon";
• Famvir;
• "Cycloferon";
• "Acyclovir";
• "Ribavirin";
• "Panavir";
• "Amiksin";
• Immunomodulating agents.

Treatment with folk methods can become dangerous and lead to unforeseen consequences. Means such as potassium iodide, arsenic and burnt magnesia in no way affect the virus.

There are two types of surgical treatment:

• Extraractal;
• Intrahort.

The first is carried out in more severe cases, if there is a risk of asphyxiation. When a person can not breathe, a tracheotomy or laryngophyssa is done. Tracheotomy is performed when the issue is not only about recovery, but also the life of the patient.

Laryngosuria procedure is necessary to open the larynx well. The removal of papilloma in the throat is performed, if necessary, the epidermis is transplanted and the vocal cord is ejected.

Intra-oral treatment means removal of the built-up edge by a special instrument using a mirror. Methods of excising viral education:

• Radio wave destruction;
• Loop excision;
• Electrocoagulation;
• Cauterization with special acidic agents;
• Ultrasonic disintegration.

Types and methods of treatment

If there is a papilloma in the throat, what treatment should it be? For each patient is selected individual tactics. The most suitable and safe way is chosen by the doctor:

• Electrodevelopment is the most popular and accurate procedure. The risk of damage to adjacent tissues is zero, the growth is eliminated by a scalpel and by an electric current.
• Cryodestruction is carried out with liquid nitrogen. This process is very painless, safe, but does not allow you to completely remove the virus. It is possible to damage adjacent tissues.
• The laser removes the papilloma, stops the bleeding. The outgrowths are small and large.

Papilloma in children

The actual problem today is papilloma in the throat of a child aged 7-10 years. Each type of virus manifests itself differently in the human body, it can for a long time not make itself felt, but any change (color, size) should alert, because it poses a serious threat to life.

In children, the disease is called papillomatosis of the larynx, it grows very quickly. Inflammation causes severe swelling, which quickly overtakes the vocal cords. This can lead to complete loss of voice and bouts of difficulty breathing. In young children, the symptoms are pronounced, and the disease is much more severe.

Complications can be expressed by the growth of the virus on the tonsils. Identify them quite simply by external examination. Education looks like a soft, mobile, homogeneous color structure. From the color of the tonsils the papilloma differs in the throat, the photos show us its pink or white color.

Papilloma and tonsils

The papilloma in the throat (the symptoms of which we now describe), located on the amygdala, is recognized by the following signs:

• Persecution;
• Cough;
• Pain, giving to the neck, submaxillary part.

After the diagnosis is made, the presence of stenosis and the degree of narrowing of the glottis are checked. With excessive cough, the growth can separate itself and in the worst case get into the trachea. What is dangerous is the obstruction of the lumen and suffocation. With frequent relapses, continuous surgical intervention is required, and the formed scars gradually reduce the lumen.

In young children, the papilloma spreads to the lungs and bronchi in the throat. It is important that the survey is conducted by a specialist with experience. Papillomatosis can be confused with tuberculosis, diphtheria and inflammatory processes of the respiratory system.

Where does the virus come from?

Children who go to kindergarten, pre-school, school facilities and sports sections are more often ill. Pools, baths are also a hotbed of spreading a viral infection. The more contact the child has in the conditions of high humidity, the greater the chances of getting a papilloma. HPV enters the body if children gnaw nails, burrs and seldom wash their hands.

From the moment of infection before it appears in the throat of the papilloma, it can take a long time from several weeks to several years. In general, the first signs are observed after six months.

The opinions of specialists regarding the treatment of children's papillomatosis diverge. Some say that education can not be touched, but one must closely monitor its development, increase in the size and number of growths. And excision is required only with multiple sprouting. Other doctors argue that it is worth removing the tumor immediately after its detection.

The need for immediate intervention is explained by the fact that the papillomas are easily injured, which can cause bleeding. With a single build-up, conservative treatment is recommended, which consists in taking immunomodulators and vitamins.
