During the change of seasons with a large daily temperature difference, more and more people suffer from tonsillitis, which tingles inside their necks.Amygdala is a small structure located behind our necks that plays a role in preventing infection.Therefore, tonsillitis is a disease in which the tonsils are inflamed, and it is mainly transmitted by viruses or bacteria.In particular, parents with young children need special attention because their tonsils are still developing.Today, I’d like to introduce the symptoms, causes, and treatments of tonsillitis.

Masan otolaryngologist says the cause of tonsillitis is

As I said earlier, the main cause of tonsillitis is infectious diseases.The tonsils become the first organ to block viruses and bacteria from the outside environment.However, if the body’s immune system decreases and tonsillitis is not performed properly, bacteria can invade and cause tonsillitis.Please note that the disease can also be caused by upper respiratory infections such as colds and rhinitis, and can also be transmitted through smoking, air pollution, and allergies.

As such, tonsillitis caused by infection can occur in the early stages with symptoms such as sore throat and high fever, chills, ear pain, and loss of appetite.And you can feel a foreign body feeling in your throat, and sometimes it hurts when you talk or swallow food.On the other hand, if acute tonsillitis is left unattended and leads to chronic conditions, complications such as sleep apnea and malocclusion of teeth can occur.Therefore, if it becomes chronic, not only sore throat but also tinnitus and ear pain may begin, and treatment may continue for a long time, so it is recommended that you receive treatment as early as possible.

In most cases, tonsillitis can be treated with conservative methods such as sufficient rest, water intake, and anti-inflammatory analgesics.However, antibiotic treatment may be considered when complications are suspected or bacterial infection is feared.And in the case of chronic tonsillitis, severe cases can lead to surgery, and in most cases, continuous management may be required due to the prolonged treatment period.Therefore, if tonsillitis recurs more than three to four times a year, I hope you realize that the disease has become chronic and focus on treatment.
