The presence of palatine tonsils in a person affects the course of coronavirus, TASS immunologists revealed.
Experts explained this factor influencing the course of the infection. So, the tonsils are the body's natural barrier that holds back bacterial infection.
Doctors recalled that the virus is smaller than bacteria and the way of penetration into the body is easier. However, in the case of preserved tonsils, they will give an immune response to a viral infection, and in the absence of a barrier, the virus enters the body faster and easier.
At the same time, doctors warn that it is important to prevent diseases of the palatine tonsils. So, with chronic tonsillitis, hardware procedures and medication prescribed by a doctor are necessary.
Earlier, the chief physician of Moscow Hospital No. 71, TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov, said that to reduce the risk of developing a severe form of coronavirus, it is enough to follow several important rules. So, a healthy lifestyle will help reduce risks. He stressed that regular activity, getting rid of excess weight and bad habits can help reduce the likelihood of infection.
