Tonsillitis
is
simply
inflammation
of the
tonsils.
(Tonsils/itis,
where
itis
means
inflammation)
Causes :
Major
cause is
the
infection.
Certain
bacteria
(Most
common
being
streptococcal
group),
viruses,
and
allergens
are
known to
produce
Tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis
may also
occur as
a result
of
certain
allergy
to
food-preservatives,
artificial
colors,
etc.
Why
does one
get
Tonsillitis?
Tonsils
may be
considered
as two
guards
standing
at the
entrance
(throat)
and
protecting
the
human
system
against
a wide
range of
intruders
such as
bacteria,
virus,
allergens
and the
like.
Tonsils
are
natural
protectors
and
vital
organs
of
self-defense
mechanism
of the
body.
They are
like the
soldiers
fighting
on the
border
who get
injured
(inflamed)
protecting
the
country.
When the
internal
immune
system
is low
or weak,
one
tends to
get
infections.
Tonsils
work
towards
protecting
us
against
the
infections.
Inflamed
tonsils
or
recurrent
tonsillitis
is the
result
of low
immunity
and not
the
cause of
it. The
treatment
should
be
targeted
towards
enhancing
the
immunity
and not
by
removing
the
tonsils!
