TONSILLITIS: HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH

Tonsils refer to masses of lymphoid tissues lying in the back of the throat, one on either side. Tonsils have a protective role and act as the first line of defence against bacteria and virus that might get inhaled or ingested. Inflammation of tonsils, on one side or on both, is known as tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis is a condition that occurs when your tonsils become infected. It can be caused by both bacterial and viral infections. Recurring infection of the tonsils leads to frequent episodes of tonsillitis, which is a common pediatric disorder found worldwide. Frequent infections lead to certain changes in the lymphoid tissues of the tonsils making them enlarged in size. Recurring septic tonsillitis may lead to some scarring on the tonsils making them less capable to fight against future infections.

Symptoms:

• fever
• swollen or inflamed tonsils, sore throat
• pain when swallowing, hoarse voice
• bad breath, Apnoea, Snoring
• ear pain
