| Tonsillitis Overview of Tonsillitis Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system. The tonsils are located at the back of the throat. Tonsils start out small at birth, enlarge during childhood, and become smaller at puberty. The tonsils help present the spread of infection from the mouth, sinuses and throat. The tonsils may become infected, or overwhelmed with bacteria or virus. This condition, tonsillitis, is most common in children between ages 5 and 10. Causes of Tonsillitis Caused by bacterial (usually streptococcal) or viral infection of the tonsils. Allergens :- food-preservatives, artificial colors, food articles - artificially colored sweets, sour fruits, bananas, preservatives added to certain drinks, cold food or drinks, ice-creams, etc. Environmental factors are exposure to excessive cold weather, damp climate or change of weather. Genetic tendency- Chronic or Recurrent tonsillitis is frequent in patients whose parents have also suffered from the same condition during childhood or adolescence.

Pain may radiate to the ear. Young children may refuse to eat or occasionally develop vomiting. The tonsils appear red and swollen and may have small white patches on them. HOMOEOPATHY & TONSILLITIS For Recurring attacks: Non-surgical Homoeopathic Treatment: Homoeopathy firmly believes in enhancing body's own defense mechanism to maintain the healthy status. Tonsils are looked upon as immunological booths. The homoeopathic approach is to encourage the immunological activities of the tonsils, and to save them for body's own long term interest. Enlargement of the tonsils is not considered an indication for its removal. Enlarged tonsils is an end result of the underlying feeble defense mechanism. The 'constitutional treatment' in homoeopathy incorporates the study of the patient's entire constitution in order to decide the treatment for tonsils. As a result, when the patient receives a course of homoeopathic treatment, he or she is not only relieved of frequent attacks of tonsillitis but also gets the immune mechanism stronger. This is the real strength of the homoeopathic treatment. With homoeopathic treatment it is possible to save the tonsils and also to enhance the immunological strength of the body at the same time. Wisdom lies in saving the tonsils! Medicines are very effective, 100% non-toxic, quick acting and absolutely harmless. |
