Tonsillitis is one of the common ear, nose, and throat conditions that can occur at any age. The condition can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Recurrent and frequent tonsillitis can lead to chronic tonsillitis. This recurrence is primarily related to weather changes, how the patient cares for their body, and the treatment process for acute tonsillitis episodes. How does recurrent tonsillitis occur? And what can be done to prevent frequent recurrence of tonsillitis in children?

Suppurative tonsillitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory lesion of the tonsils caused by bacteria or viruses. The disease can lead to many dangerous complications such as tonsillar abscess, peritonsillar cellulitis, bronchitis, sinusitis, lateral pharyngeal abscess, nephritis, arthritis, myocarditis, and sepsis

Both pharyngeal cancer and purulent tonsillitis share some similar symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, sore throat, or swelling in the neck. These overlaps can cause confusion between the two conditions. Let’s explore the specific symptoms of each condition and how to distinguish between them.
