About 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.
Common Triggers
Coughs, sneezes and shared cups pass on the germs, and being run down, in a crowd or in close contact raises the risk.
How to Lower Your Risk of Acute Tonsillitis
Wash hands commonly, do not share cups, plates or cutlery, and stay away from others while you have a fever.
Treatment Options for Acute Tonsillitis in Tarabya
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. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest painkillers and fever medicine, throat sprays and, if a bacterial cause is likely, a course of antibiotics.
