Understanding Acute Tonsillitis
Acute tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of the throat. Viruses cause most cases, bacteria such as streptococcus some, and it is frequent in children and teenagers.
Signs of Acute Tonsillitis to Look for
- Swollen, tender glands in the neck
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Very sore throat and painful swallowing
- Fever and chills
- Bad breath, earache and headache
Causes and Risk Factors
Viruses or bacteria spread through coughs, sneezes and shared cups. Tiredness, crowds and close contact make catching it more likely.
Care and Treatment for Acute Tonsillitis
The doctor examines the throat by video, asks about fever and other symptoms, judges whether bacteria are likely and prescribes an antibiotic and pain relief where suitable. Treatment can involve painkillers and fever medicine, throat sprays and, if a bacterial cause is likely, a course of antibiotics.
- Use simple painkillers and gargle warm salty water
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Stay home until the fever has gone and you feel better
- Eat soft, cool foods such as yoghurt and ice lollies
