Abstract

Tonsillitis is common, especially in children. Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils most commonly caused by viral or bacterial infection. The most common problems affecting the tonsils are recurrent infections (throat or ear) and significant enlargement or obstruction that causes breathing and swallowing problems. The condition can occur occasionally or recur frequently. This article provides an overview of the aetiology, diagnosis, and appropriate general & homoeopathic management of this disorder.

In a significant number of children, homoeopathic treatment can help to prevent recurrence of frequent tonsillitis, thus helping children avoid tonsillectomy. The treatment of enlarged tonsils with homoeopathy has two stages in cases of long standing. Acute inflammation needs to be treated with a different set of medicines and its recurrence to be treated once the acute stage is over. Deep-acting medicines are required to treat the constitution and bring about lasting relief. It is true that this method takes a longer time, but it is also the best one because not only the tonsils are cured but also the patient.
