Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, often caused by viruses or bacteria. It leads to sore throat, fever, swollen tonsils, and trouble swallowing.

​

Treatment options:

• Rest, fluids, and pain relief for viral cases

• Antibiotics if it’s bacterial (like strep throat)

• Tonsillectomy (surgery to remove tonsils) if infections are frequent or severe.
