Sore Throat and Tonsillitis

A sore throat is a common condition that can cause pain, irritation, and difficulty swallowing. While many sore throats are caused by viral infections and resolve on their own, some may result from bacterial infections or other underlying conditions requiring medical attention. Tonsillitis, a specific type of sore throat, occurs when the tonsils become inflamed due to infection. This condition is particularly common in children but can also affect adults. Symptoms of tonsillitis include swollen tonsils, a scratchy or painful throat, fever, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes white patches on the tonsils.

Our expert ENT consultants provide precision care for sore throats and tonsillitis, starting with a thorough examination to determine the cause. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include medications such as antibiotics for bacterial infections, pain relief measures, or advice on managing symptoms at home. For recurrent or severe cases of tonsillitis, a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils) may be recommended to prevent future episodes.
