Tonsillitis

Overview

Tonsillitis is a common, short-lasting infection of the tonsils, causing inflammation. It mainly occurs in childhood, between the ages of four and six and again at the age of puberty. It can also occur in adulthood. Generally, the more often the tonsils become infected, the more prone they are to recurring infections.

Symptoms

The tonsils are an essential part of the immune system, their main function being to filter out bacteria and any other microorganisms that can cause infections. However, at times, the tonsils themselves can suffer an infection resulting in pain and inflammation.

Symptoms of tonsillitis include swelling and pain in the neck, pain in the throat, with enlarged and inflamed tonsils, painful swallowing, and pain that radiates to the ears. Other symptoms can include high fever, abscesses on the tonsils, temporary hearing loss, headache, hoarseness, coughing, vomiting, and general ill feelings and fatigue.

Causes

Tonsillitis is caused either by Streptococcal bacteria or, less commonly, by viral infections. For safety sake, throat cultures are necessary to rule out strep throat and family members may also need to be tested, as they may be carriers and need to be treated along with the infected individual.

Note: The tonsils are an integral part of the lymphatic system and they play an important role in adrenal function, and should therefore be preserved
