Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi, Namaskar. I am 39 years old man. My left tonsil has swollen since last 5 days.In my office the cold air from air conditioner duct directly hits area near my left year and left tonsil. Left tonsil has swollen andI find it difficult / painful to swallow. Consulted GP, who hasprescribed antibiotics for infection and pain killer. I believe there is difference between swollen tonsil and infected tonsil. As I do not have fever, I do not think my left tonsil is infected. Kindly confirm whether this is correct and suggest PH protocol. Best regards, Krishnakumar A. Pai ========================================================= Dear Krishnakumar, Namaste. Thank you for your email. Cold air aggravated and lowered your resistance to infection. Swollen painful tonsils indicate an infection or tonillitis as your medical doctor surmised. Tonsillitis can have serious complications if left untreated. Medical Background: The pharynx is the common entry pathway of our body, for respiration and digestion. The natural guards to protect our body from disease entry are tonsils. The tonsils are oval lymph glands situated on the sidewalls of the pharynx. There are two tonsils for a human, sitting at the back end of the throat on both sides and projecting out as masses. They drain lymphocytes containing lymph into the tonsilar lymph node situated behind and below the lower jaw. The functions of tonsils: -It monitors the quality of the air, food and water which enter our body -It plays a major role in body immunity mechanism and antibody reaction most probably in childhood -It is helpful in forming lymphocytes (white blood cells) which protect our body as a defence mechanism. -It becomes as red swollen inflamed mass (danger light) indicating any infection entering our body -It traps the germs that enter the body by its antibodies and drains it into the lymph node for elimination -It is also supposed to kill bacteria that enter into the tonsil through the blood stream. If we ignore the red light of tonsil, the infection might spread in the throat, mouth, sinuses and upper respiratory tract. If there is further delay in proper treatment, the infection spreads further to the lower respiratory tract (lungs), digestive tract and other parts of the body (joints, heart, etc.) With repeated attack of infection, the tonsils may get fibrosis and scarred and lose its protective function. The inflammation of the tonsils is called tonsillitis. The infected tonsils become red and swollen, to work better to trap or stop the disease force - bacteria or virus. They also get coated (either partly or entirely) with yellow, grey, or white substance, depending upon the type of infection and pus formation. Tonsillitis begins with a sudden sore throat and painful swallowing. The tonsils infection is common in children and teenagers but rare in adults. Tonsillitis can be classified as acute and chronic. -Acute tonsillitis is a sudden onset inflammation that lasts for about 4 to 6 days. It is an uncomplicated form which commonly affects children of ages 5-10. -Chronic tonsillitis occurs when there is recurrent infection. They remain infected and do not respond to treatment. They are usually a complicated form which are seen in maltreated or untreated children and teenagers. Further tonsillitis types are classified as -Membranous - which is most common in children -Follicular - having follicles in the outer layer which appears as yellow dots on the tonsil surface. It is common in young adults. The most common cause for tonsillitis is -Bacterial or viral infection - Bacteria, specifically beta-hemolytic streptococci, is the main offender. Virus can also cause tonsillitis. The source of infection may be food or water or droplet infection from coughing or mucous secretions of an infected person. -It also occurs as an allergic reaction to allergens, for example pollens, cold things, food preservatives, drugs, mechanical injury, etc. In patients with auto-immune disorders, who suffer from immunodeficiency, tonsillitis may occur due to multiple infections. For example HIV, psoriasis, SLE, etc. Symptom - differ from patient to patient depending upon the size and involvement of sides (single or both) -Red swollen tonsils - felt or visualised as a lump in throat -Sore throat which induces constant hawking and choking -Difficulty and pain during swallowing - due to obstruction. Sore throat is felt as tight constricted area, so there is delay in eating, which further produces aversion to food and weight loss. -Difficulty in breathing - due to the blockage of air way by enlarged tonsil. This may lead to snoring, mouth breath and restlessness at night due to sleep apnea (large pauses between two breaths). Due to sleeplessness at night, there will be excessive tiredness in daytime. -Poor growth and development due to air hunger and lack of appetite or aversion. -Excess salivation and dribbling of saliva when mouth breath predominates -Ear ache and bad breath (halitosis) due to infection and pus formation -White spots or yellow or grey coating over the tonsils -Painful or painless lymph node enlargement below the angle of lower jaw -Constitutional disturbances like fever with chill and tiredness -Recurrent or repeated attack of cold and cough. -Constipation Complications: -CSOM- chronic suppurative ear disorder -Quinsy - peritonsilar abscess -Headache with sinusitis -Act as a septic focus which may cause septicaemia -Obstruction causing choking -Rheumatism and heart strain in case of infection with haemolytic streptococci bacteria.
