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, with an abrupt onset and the main symptom being sore throat, accompanied by chills, fever, and headache. It is a common condition among children and adolescents. Chronic tonsillitis is caused by repeated episodes of acute tonsillitis, characterized by dry throat, a feeling of blockage, sticky secretions that are difficult to cough up, and halitosis. Its recurrent attacks can trigger other diseases, such as chronic nephritis, arthritis, and rheumatic heart disease, so it must be treated actively.
