Did you wake up to your alarm and get the surprise of a scratchy, irritated throat? Could your sore throat be just that from a cold? Is it the first sign of strep throat or maybe a more serious condition – tonsillitis? While tonsillitis and strep throat share many of the symptoms, they are not the same. Tonsillitis can be caused by several types of viral and bacterial infections, including the bacteria that cause strep throat. Strep throat is only caused by group-A Streptococcus bacterium and never by another virus or bacteria. In other words, strep throat can cause tonsillitis, but not all cases of tonsillitis are strep throat. Opting for the best Homeopathic treatment for tonsillitis can be effective for children and adults. It is safe and can be taken without worrying about the side effects.
Symptoms of Tonsillitis vs. Strep Throat
Although tonsillitis and strep throat are different, they share a lot of the same symptoms. This is because the infections are in close proximity and afflict the same areas, even if the causes of infection vary.
Symptoms of Tonsillitis:
- Sore throat
- Swollen, tender lymph nodes in the neck
- Redness & swelling in the tonsils
- Difficulty and pain in swallowing
- Fever
- Stiff Neck
- White or yellow discoloration on and around tonsils
Occasionally, the tonsils may get enlarged to the extent that they may touch each other, known as kissing tonsils. Homeopathy for tonsillitis treatment helps relieve the soreness & irritation.
Symptoms of Strep Throat:
- Sore throat
- Swollen, tender lymph nodes in the neck
- Red spots on the mouth roof
- Difficulty and pain in swallowing
- High fever
- Body aches
- Swollen, red tonsils with white streaks of pus
It is important to see your Homeopath if the symptoms last more than 2 days or rapidly worsening. Additionally, if you have a high fever of 103 degrees, you should seek immediate medical attention.
What is Tonsillitis & Its Types?
The condition of your tonsils swelling up is known as tonsillitis. The tonsils are composed of two delicate tissue glands that are found at the back of your throat. The function of these tissues is to stop you from contracting an infection from viruses or bacteria. They are a vital part of the human immune system. However, at times, these pairs of glands may catch an infection and get inflamed.
Homeopathy for tonsillitis treatment reduces the inflammation of the tonsils and restores the body’s defenses to normal.
Types of Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis is of 3 types- acute, chronic, and recurrent.
- Acute Tonsillitis – It is the most common type of tonsillitis. The symptoms usually last for around 3 days or, at times, up to 2 weeks.
- Chronic Tonsillitis – If the tonsillitis symptoms last longer than 2 weeks, it is called chronic tonsillitis. If left untreated, it can lead to the deposition of calcified materials in the tonsils, causing tonsil stones.
- Recurrent Tonsillitis – If tonsillitis occurs several times within a year, it is recurrent tonsillitis. Eventually, the infection stops responding to the antibiotics and returns frequently.
Homeopathic treatment for tonsillitis can effectively address & treat the root cause of the disease.
Scope of Improvement Using Homeopathy for Tonsillitis Treatment
