Alanya: Local Notes for Acute Tonsillitis
Alanya is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Other places within reach include Kas, Kalkan, Kadriye. Late nights and cold drinks can leave your throat swollen the next day. Rest, drink water and call us if you cannot swallow properly.
Travel Guide to Alanya
In antiquity the town was Coracesium, later Kalonoros, and the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad gave it the name Alaiye, which became Alanya. Tourist tip: climb to Alanya Castle, see the Red Tower and Damlatas Cave, and shop the bazaar for souvenirs and leather. Cleopatra Beach is good for swimming, with diving, jet-skiing and paragliding on offer.
What Is Acute Tonsillitis?
Acute tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of the throat. It is generally viral, but can be caused by bacteria such as streptococcus, and it is common in children and teenagers.
Common Triggers
Viruses or bacteria passed on through coughs, sneezes and shared cups. Tiredness, crowded places and close contact raise the risk of catching it.
How Acute Tonsillitis Feels
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Very sore throat and painful swallowing
- Bad breath, earache and headache
- Fever and chills
How Acute Tonsillitis Is Treated
The physician looks at the throat on video, asks about fever and other symptoms, judges whether a bacterial cause is likely and prescribes an antibiotic and pain relief where appropriate. Treatment can involve 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
- Eat soft, cool foods such as yoghurt and ice lollies
- Use simple painkillers and gargle warm salty water
