Very often we come across patients of recurrent tonsil and children many time go for Surgery ,But . Homeopathy can give you best result in tonsillitis and will sure avoid surgery , lets understand it first
Tonsils are the two lymph
nodes located on each side of the back of your throat. They function as a
defense mechanism. They help prevent your body from infection. When the tonsils
become infected, the condition is called tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis can occur at
any age and is a common childhood infection. It is most often diagnosed in
children from preschool age through their midteens. Symptoms include a sore
throat, swollen tonsils, and fever.
This condition is contagious
and can be caused by a variety of common viruses and bacteria, such as
streptococcal bacteria, which causes strep throat. Tonsillitis caused by
strep throat can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
- Pharyngeal Tonsil/Adenoids.
- Palatine Tonsils.
- Lingual Tonsils.
At the back of your throat, two masses of tissue called tonsils act as
filters, trapping germs that could otherwise enter your airways and
cause infection. They also produce antibodies to fight infection. But
sometimes the tonsils themselves become infected. Overwhelmed by
bacteria or viruses, they swell and become inflamed, a condition known
as tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis is common, especially in children. The condition can occur occasionally or recur frequently
Tonsillitis symptoms:-
ACUTE TONSILLITIS.
- Tendency for repeated attack of cough and cold e. g. in 10-15 days. These attacks may be accompanied with high fever.
- Pain in the throat which sometimes extends to the ear.
- Unpleasant smell and taste in the mouth.
- Hoarseness.
- Snoring and breathing through the mouth.
- Deafness.
The tonsils which are like two guards fighting
and preventing the diseases from spreading ; over a period of time
become enlarged and unhealthy leading to a condition called Chronic Tonsillitis.

Homeopathic treatment:-
Baryta Carbonica. [Bar-c]:-
Hughes places this remedy among the most prominent ones for acute tonsillitis, saying that, in his hands, it has been of almost unfailing efficacy; he uses the 6th. It is especially of use when the trouble is in the parenchyma of the glands, and suppuration rarely follows its use. It suits comparatively mild cases, who have an attack from any exposure. it removes the predisposition to attack. Belladonna is more superficial, and Apis has oedema.

It is very useful in cases where every cold settles in the tonsils,
especially in children who have a chronic enlargement of those glands.
The chief use of Baryta has been, however in chronic enlargement of the
tonsils and it undoubtedly has been very often wrongly prescribed here,
as it corresponds to comparatively few cases. 372 In a tendency to
tonsillitis in scrofulous children with enlargement of other glands it
will be found useful. Like Belladonna it seems to have an affinity for
the right side. Children requiring Baryta are backward and bashful.
Baryta iodide is preferred by Goodno, and Tooker mentions Fucus vesiculosus in chronic cases.
