Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, which are two small glands located on either side of the back of the throat. It is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Tonsillitis is a common condition, particularly in children and adolescents, but it can affect people of all ages.
The most common symptoms of tonsillitis include:
Sore throat: The throat may be red, swollen, and painful, making it difficult to swallow.
Tonsil swelling: The tonsils may appear enlarged and red, sometimes with white or yellow patches or spots.
Difficulty swallowing: Due to the pain and swelling, swallowing food and even saliva can be uncomfortable.
Fever: Tonsillitis can be accompanied by a mild to moderate fever.
Ear pain: Some people with tonsillitis may experience referred pain to the ears.
Bad breath: Foul-smelling breath can be present due to the infection.
If you suspect you have tonsillitis, it is important to see a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist), for a proper diagnosis. They will examine your throat, review your symptoms, and may perform a throat swab to determine the cause of the infection.
Treatment for tonsillitis depends on the underlying cause. If it is caused by a bacterial infection (such as strep throat), antibiotics may be prescribed to help clear the infection. However, if the cause is viral, antibiotics will not be effective, and the infection will need to run its course.
In addition to medication, there are several self-care measures you can take to alleviate the symptoms of tonsillitis:
Get plenty of rest to allow your body to recover.
Drink warm liquids or gargle with warm saltwater to soothe your throat.
Use over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to reduce pain and fever.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, preferably warm or room temperature.
Avoid irritants such as smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke.
