Tonsillitis :

In simple terms, tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils. Tonsils are simply two small lymph nodes sitting at the backside of the throat. Of all the causes of tonsillitis viral infection stands out as a common cause, especially in the form of common cold and influenza though far more often. It is brought about by a bacterial infection which leads to strep throat. Tonsillitis is most common in children but may be encountered by anyone regardless of age. General Symptoms are sore throat, tonsils are reddened and swollen, patient is not in a position to swallow and severe fever. The lymph node is swollen at the backside of the neck. The patient might also have experience white or yellowish patches over the tonsils and bad breath or halitosis under extreme conditions. This would depend on the cause of tonsillitis. Most probably, a viral tonsillitis would be symptomatic treatment, such as rest, fluid intake, lozenges of the throat, and medications for fever and pain relievers that reduce the discomfort and pain. On the other hand, etiology for bacterial tonsillitis, or strep throat, would be treated with antibiotics. The doctor would most likely send the patient for a procedure called tonsillectomy whenever the case recurs incessantly or chronically. This process prevents further infections from happening. Tonsillitis usually needs close monitoring in follow-up care among other things in the management of symptoms and complications that come with it.
