Enlarged tonsils Health Feed

If there is no symptom, then no need to worry. As it takes time for tonsils to reduce in time. Do not worry.

Please visit a doctor. Preferably a pediatrician or ent surgeon.

Get enough rest.
Drink warm or very cold fluids to ease throat pain.
Eat smooth foods, such as flavored gelatins, ice cream, or applesauce.
Use a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in your room.
Gargle with warm salt water.
Suck on lozenges containing benzocaine or other anesthetics.

Dear lybrate-user
Don’t use antibiotics on your own choice because large tonsils doesn’t mean infected tonsils. Understand the difference. Visit an Ent doctor near you and get the child checked. This might cause increased Antibiotic resistance in the kid and can make no other medicine work for him in future. Kindly observe the sensitiveness in the issue. Get well soon.

Adenoid and tonsils are two diff. For tonsils xray is not required. Take zifi dt 100 1 tab/twice/day for 7 days

What is tonsilitis?

Tonsils are two oval-shaped tissue pads at the back of the throat (one on each side) which act as the first line of defence against bacterias and viruses that enter the mouth and thus make tonsils vulnerable to catch infection and get inflamed which decreases as the child grows up thus the chances of infection also decrease with age.
Thus tonsils are tissue on both sides of the back of the throat that help the body fight infection. They trap bacteria and viruses ...more

Dear lybrate-user, is it only enlarged tonsils or infected as well. If only enlarged without symptoms then don't worry. If there is repeated tonsil infection at age of 58, then its high time to consult a homeopath as there is urticaria/ allegic nature of disease. Even after taking montec lc.

Oralhygene+wokadine gargles+ x30 days, prevent infection by avoiding cold. If tonsillitis 3 times in an year you get them removed by ent doc.

Dear lybrate-user,
it depends on the ahi and severity of apnea.
Get a sleep study done and maybe a cpap device can be tried.
Follow up with a sleep study report.
Regards.
