Posterior pharyngeal wall lymphoid follicle hyperplasia can be managed and resolved through etiological treatment, local medication, physical therapy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) regulation, and lifestyle adjustments. Interventions should be tailored according to the severity of hyperplasia and underlying causes. If hyperplasia is accompanied by persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, or breathing difficulties, prompt medical attention is recommended.

1. Etiological Treatment: Identify underlying triggers such as chronic pharyngitis, allergies, or gastroesophageal reflux, and treat the primary condition accordingly. Reducing local irritation helps prevent further lymphoid follicle hyperplasia at its source.

2. Local Medication: Use heat-clearing, detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and throat-soothing sprays or mouthwashes applied directly to the affected area. These help reduce inflammatory responses, alleviate congestion and edema of the follicles, and relieve throat discomfort.

3. Physical Therapy: For significant hyperplasia, physical modalities such as laser therapy or cryotherapy can precisely remove hyperplastic follicular tissue. These methods are minimally invasive with rapid recovery, but must be performed by qualified medical professionals.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Regulation: Utilize oral TCM formulations that clear heat and benefit the throat, along with acupuncture or acupoint massage, to regulate organ function, reduce local throat inflammation, and support regression of follicular hyperplasia.

5. Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoid spicy foods, tobacco, alcohol, and exposure to dust. Drink plenty of water to keep the throat moist, maintain regular sleep patterns avoiding late nights, minimize excessive voice use, and reduce strain on the throat.

Routinely maintain indoor air humidity, rinse the mouth with warm water after meals to clean the throat, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, avoid frequent throat clearing, and engage in regular exercise to strengthen overall immunity and reduce recurrence of hyperplasia triggered by respiratory infections.
