Muhamad Lutfi Introduction Tonsils are the two lymph nodes located on each side of the back of your throat. Inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils is called tonsillitis. The inflammation usually extends to the adenoid and the lingual tonsils; therefore, the term pharyngitis may also be used. Tonsillitis is usually most often occurs in children but this condition rarely occurs in children younger than 2 years. Bacterial tonsillitis, which caused by Streptococcus species is typically occurs in children aged between 5 to 15 years old, meanwhile viral tonsillitis is more common in younger children. Tonsillitis itself is not contagious, but the viruses and bacteria that cause it are contagious. Prevention by frequent hand washing is the most recommended suggestion. Patients who have acute tonsillitis present signs and symptoms such as fever, sore throat, foul breath, dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing), odynophagia (painful swallowing) and will have tender cervical lymph nodes. Emergency care is recommended to patients who have trouble breathing, start drooling and have lots of trouble Treatment for Tonsillitis A mild case of tonsillitis, especially viral tonsillitis does not necessarily require treatments. Treatments are usually for more severe cases of tonsillitis which may include administration of antibiotics or tonsillectomy procedure. Tonsillitis due to bacterial infection will be prescribed with antibiotics and patients are usually advised to complete the full course of antibiotics. Analgesics medicines to relieve the sore throat can also help while the throat is healing. Meanwhile, tonsillectomy is a surgery procedure which will remove the tonsils. Tonsillectomies today are only recommended for patients who experience recurrent or chronic tonsillitis. Tonsillectomy is also recommended to treat tonsillitis that doesn’t respond to other treatment, or tonsillitis that causes complications. REFERENCES : 1. Tonsillitis : Causes, Symptoms and Diagnosis.
