Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils. Tonsils are two oval-shaped tissue pads located in the back of the throat, one on each side.

What causes tonsillitis?

The most common cause of tonsillitis is a viral infection, however bacterial infections can also be to blame. Sore throat, swallowing issues, and sensitive lymph nodes are symptoms. Home remedies and surgical removal are both possible forms of treatment.

The goal of treatment may also be to reduce tonsillitis symptoms, such as pain and inflammation, by using NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Between the ages of six and mid-teens, children are most frequently affected with tonsillitis.

Common signs and symptoms of tonsillitis include:

  • Red, swollen tonsils
  • White or yellow coating or patches on the tonsils
  • Sore throat
  • Difficult or painful swallowing
  • Fever
  • Enlarged, tender glands (lymph nodes) in the neck
  • A scratchy, muffled or throaty voice
  • Bad breath
  • Stomachache
  • Neck pain or stiff neck
  • Headache

Although bacterial infections can also cause tonsillitis, common viral infections account for the majority of cases.
