ring sleep, which causes breathing difficulties and poor sleep

Other complications of tonsillitis are very rare and usually only occur if an underlying bacterial infection is left untreated. They include:

Scarlet fever – a condition that causes a distinctive pink-red skin rash

Rheumatic fever – this causes widespread inflammation throughout the body, leading to symptoms such as joint pain, rashes, and jerky body movements

Glomerulonephritis – an infection (swelling) of the filters in the kidneys that can cause vomiting and a loss of appetite

How tonsillitis is diagnosed?

Your healthcare provider will ask about your health history and do a physical exam. To guide treatment, your provider may rub a sterile swab over the back of the throat and tonsils to get a sample of the secretions and perform:

 

Rapid strep test: This test can detect strep bacteria in minutes

Throat culture and sensitivity: The sample is cultured in a lab for the presence of bacteria; it helps the provider choose the best antibiotic to treat it, but can take 48 to 72 hours to get the results

Treatment and medications

Treatment of viral tonsillitis primarily involves rest, recovery and symptom relief. It is also important to drink plent

and have regular meals (soft foods and smoothies are best).

If a bacterial infection is confirmed by a throat culture, antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent complications, particularly rheumatic fever and kidney disease. It is important to take the full course of antibiotics as prescribed to prevent the infection from returning and to reduce the likelihood of developing rheumatic fever or kidney disease. Refer to our strep throat page for more information.

Antibiotics will not be prescribed for viral tonsillitis because antibiotics are not effective against viruses. Viral tonsillitis will usually get better without treatment.  Pain relief and reduction of fever can be achieved with over-the-counter paracetamol and ibuprofen.

Gargling salt water (half teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water) may provide some symptom relief as may sucking on hard sweets or throat lozenges containing ingredients that are cooling, anesthetic, antiseptic, or anti-inflammatory.

Corticosteroids such as dexamethasone or prednisone may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling, particularly when it is making swallowing and breathing difficult.

Surgery

Some people who have recurring bouts of tonsillitis will be offered surgery to remove their tonsils. The operation is known as a tonsillectomy.

People who have a tonsillectomy need a general anesthetic and often stay in hospital overnight. There is a risk of heavy bleeding after the operation. It doesn’t prevent sore throats coming back. Some people have a lot of pain afterward, and it can take up to 2 weeks to recover.

You should talk to your doctor or ear, nose and throat specialist about whether a tonsillectomy is likely to help you.

What natural or home remedies help soothe tonsillitis pain and inflammation?

If a doctor has diagnosed tonsillitis, some home remedies can help soothe the symptoms of a sore throat.

Throat sprays and lozenges: These can coat and moisturize the throat, and many have a topical anesthetic to relieve pain (consult a doctor before giving lozenges to young children; they can be a choking hazard)

Saltwater gargle: This helps clear mucus from the throat

Sipping warm beverages such as tea with honey, or broth can be soothing

Eating cold foods such as ice cream or popsicles can help ease pain

Some alternative remedies may help ease tonsillitis symptoms.

Slippery elm in lozenge form may help with pain relief

Serrapeptase is an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory properties and can help decrease pain and help with swallowing

Papain is an enzyme that can help treat inflammation

Andrographis can help treat fever and sore throat symptoms

Consult your doctor before using any alternative remedies. Doctors do not recommend many of these home remedies for use in children or adolescents as most have not

en scientifically evaluated.

Prevention of tonsilitis

The germs that cause viral and bacterial tonsillitis are contagious. Therefore, the best prevention is to practice good hygiene. Teach your child to:

Wash his or her hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after using the toilet and before eating

Avoid sharing food, drinking glasses, water bottles or utensils

Replace his or her toothbrush after being diagnosed with tonsillitis

To help your child prevent the spread of a bacterial or viral infection to others:

Keep your child at home when he or she is ill

Ask your doctor when it’s all right for your child to return to school

Teach your child to cough or sneeze into a tissue or, when necessary, into his or her elbow

Teach your child to wash his or her hands after sneezing or coughing

Lumbar puncture revealed an opening pressure of 300 mm, 200 red blood cells, 90% of the WBCs whichare lymphocytes, sugar of 85 mg/dL (concomitant blood sugar of 110mg/dL), and protein of 65 mg/dL. Bacteriologic smears (and ultimately alsothe bacterial cultures) were negative, as were India ink preparations. All latex particle agglutination tests for fungal and bacterial capsules done onthe patient’s CSF were also negative. The patient’s condition did notimprove despite appropriate therapy, and he died 10 days after hospitalization.
