About acute tonsillitis
Acute tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of the throat. It is normally viral, but can be caused by bacteria such as streptococcus, and it is frequent in children and teenagers.
Why acute tonsillitis happens
Viruses or bacteria passed on through coughs, sneezes and shared cups. Tiredness, crowded places and close contact raise the risk of catching it.
Signs of acute tonsillitis to look for
- Very sore throat and painful swallowing
- Swollen, tender glands in the neck
- Bad breath, earache and headache
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Fever and chills
Treatment options for acute tonsillitis in Pamukkale
The physician 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. Typical choices are painkillers and fever medicine, throat sprays and, if a bacterial cause is likely, a course of antibiotics.
- Stay home until the fever has gone and you feel better
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Use simple pain relief and gargle warm salty water
