Doctor's answer:
Tonsillitis generally refers to non-specific inflammation of the palatine tonsils and can be divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Acute tonsillitis is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections when the body's resistance is lowered. It has an abrupt onset and the main symptom is sore throat, accompanied by symptoms such as chills, fever, and headache. It is a common disease among children and adolescents. Chronic tonsillitis is caused by repeated attacks of acute tonsillitis. It is characterized by dry throat, a feeling of blockage, sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, and halitosis. Its repeated attacks can induce other diseases, such as chronic nephritis, arthritis, and rheumatic heart disease. Therefore, active treatment is necessary.
