Inflammation of the tonsils happens when the tonsils become inflamed. The common cause is a viral infection. It tends to affect teens and typically presents featuring symptoms including throat pain, raised body temperature, ear pain, and headaches.

A general practitioner might diagnose it through a physical examination of the throat and sometimes performing a test sample from the throat to here confirm a bacterial infection. To treat viral cases, the focus is on pain relief through hydration and rest. Antibiotics become necessary if the infection is bacterial, though this is rare.

When tonsillitis persists, surgery to remove the tonsils might be recommended if the condition disrupts daily life. To stop the spread of tonsillitis, it is important to good hygiene practices.

Tonsillitis is primarily caused by viral or bacterial infections, requiring treatments from pain relief to surgery depending on the severity.
