Tonsillitis

What is Tonsillitis?


Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, two lymph nodes located at the back of your throat. It can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Common symptoms include a sore throat, swollen tonsils, difficulty swallowing, fever, and white patches on the tonsils. Tonsillitis can occur in both children and adults, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe.

Treatment Options for Tonsillitis


    • Viral Tonsillitis Treatment: Rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relief.
    • Bacterial Tonsillitis Treatment: Antibiotics prescribed based on your diagnosis.
    • Holistic Treatments: Warm saltwater gargles, herbal teas, and humidifiers may help ease discomfort.
    • Home Remedies for Mild Cases: Drinking warm fluids, honey, and using throat lozenges can soothe symptoms.
