What Is Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, the two lymph nodes located at the back of your throat. It’s usually caused by viral or bacterial infections and is common in children, though adults can also be affected. While occasional tonsillitis can be managed with medication, frequent or chronic cases may require surgical removal of the tonsils (Tonsillectomy) for long-term relief and better quality of life.
