Tonsils
These are the masses of soft tissue present at back of the throat. In the process of protecting our body, they sometimes get infected with virus and bacteria. Due to infections these tonsils get inflamed and leads to a condition called tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is common among children and teenagers and is a contagious disease. There are different types of tonsillitis like acute tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, recurrent tonsillitis, PTA (peritonsillar abscess) and tonsillar hyperplasia. Infection of tonsils or Tonsillitis leads to several symptoms like strep throat, bad breath, fever, stiff neck, difficulty in swallowing, taking breathe through mouth, wheezing, headache and cough. Few people also experience headache, ear pain along with pain in abdomen. It is not a serious illness and will relieve within 10 days.
