Tonsillitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Homeopathic Treatment
What is Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, which are two oval-shaped tissues located at the back of the throat. It is commonly caused by viral infections or bacterial infections such as strep throat. This condition results in a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and swollen tonsils, and may be accompanied by fever, headache, and general discomfort.
Common Symptoms of Tonsillitis
- Sore throat, especially when swallowing
- Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white spots
- Fever and chills
- Bad breath
- Pain or difficulty hearing
- Swollen neck lymph nodes
- Weakness and general malaise
Tonsillitis in Children and Adults
Tonsillitis can affect both children and adults, though it is more common in children. In some cases, chronic or recurrent tonsillitis may require medical intervention. Mild symptoms may not necessitate a doctor’s visit, but acute or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
How Homeopathy Can Help with Tonsillitis
