What is tonsillitis?

Tonsils are the two lymph nodes located on each side of the back of your throat. They function as a defense mechanism and help prevent your body from getting an infection. When tonsils become infected, the condition is called tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis can occur at any age and is a common childhood illness. It’s most often diagnosed in children from preschool age through their mid-teens. Symptoms include a sore throat, swollen tonsils, and fever.

This condition is contagious and can be caused by a variety of common viruses and bacteria, such as Streptococcal bacteria, which causes strep throat. Tonsillitis caused by strep throat can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Tonsillitis is easy to diagnose. Symptoms usually go away within 7 to 10 days.

Tonsillitis symptoms

There are 3 types of tonsillitis: acute, chronic, and recurrent.

Possible symptoms of tonsillitis include:

In very young children, you may also notice increased irritability, poor appetite, or excessive drooling.

Tonsillitis is incredibly common in children. In fact, almost every child will probably get tonsillitis at least once.

If symptoms last around 10 days or less, it’s considered acute tonsillitis. If symptoms last longer, or if tonsillitis comes back multiple times during the year, it may be chronic or recurrent tonsillitis.

Acute tonsillitis will likely improve with home treatments, but in some cases may require other treatments, like antibiotics.

Chronic tonsillitis symptoms continue longer than acute. You may experience long-lasting:

  • sore throat
  • bad breath (halitosis)
  • tender lymph nodes in the neck

Chronic tonsillitis may also cause tonsil stones, where materials like dead cells, saliva, and food build up in the crevices of your tonsils. Eventually, the debris can harden into small stones. These may come loose on their own, or they may need to be removed by a doctor.

Your doctor may recommend a tonsillectomy to surgically remove your tonsils if you have chronic tonsillitis.

    1. Dulu kerap kena, then doc suggest makan vitamin c. Bila da amalkan, jarang dah kena..

      Ahh ade tye doc ritu, klo nak buang mcm mana, tapi doc ckp ade kriteria die, salah satu nya kne selalu dapat tonsil, at least 3x setahun baru die consider bedah.

      AD da jarang kene setahun sekali je atau 2x je..lagi pun bila sakit ni mula jaga makan, makan nk sihat2 jadi rasanya membantu juga..Baik! Saya cek entry kak ret nanti
