Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils that is a common disease seen in children. This may be a result of a viral or bacterial infection. Tonsils are tiny glands at the back of the throat. These are a part of body’s defense system. Inflammation of the tonsils make them sore, red and swollen. This is often a painful condition that can lead to formation of tiny stones at the back of the throat if left untreated. An ENT specialist will ask your child to open their mouth widely to examine the throat. A soft cotton swab can be used for sample collection which can be sent for rapid analysis. This is called a throat culture which establishes diagnosis. Antibiotics can be prescribed if the culture is positive for bacteria. A viral infection goes down by itself. If there are repeated episodes of infection, Tonsillectomy can be performed. This is a simple procedure and does not result in any long term problems.
