Dear, *Chronic tonsillitis is a persistent infection of the tonsils. Repeated infections may cause the formation of small pockets (crypts) in the tonsils which harbor bacteria. Frequently, small, foul smelling stones are found within these crypts. These stones (tonsilloliths) may contain high quantities of sulfa. When crushed, they give off the characteristic rotten egg smell which causes bad breath. They may also give a patient the sense of something being caught in the back of the throat.

Hello Lybrate-User,
It can spread from one person to another person by spray of dischares or some other contact.
It is not passed in generation.
It can be cured by homoeopathic treatment.
You can consult me at Lybrate.

If the tonsillitis is severe and give you trouble you need to surgically remove it. Better still, is to treat it with antibiotics if increased and do warm saline gargling.

Yes you can take it and there are no such side effects of it but take haldi wala dudh along with it and do gargling for better results.
