Description -
The inflammation or swelling of the tonsils is called tonsillitis. It is also called tonsillopharyngitis. Tonsillitis is most common in children between the ages of four and five and rarely occurs before the age of three. A viral infection most commonly causes it and about 5% to 40% of cases are caused by bacterial infections which occur at a later age. According toĀ Vagbhata, the diseaseĀ TundikeriĀ affects theĀ Hanu pradeshaĀ (jaw region) which spreads to theĀ TaluĀ (Palate) andĀ KanthaĀ (Throat). So it comes under the disease affecting bothĀ TaluĀ (Palate) andĀ KanthaĀ (Throat).
Ayurvedic concept ā
Tonsillitis and tonsils in Ayurveda can be correlated to Tundikeri, which is one of the diseases of the head and neck. Ayurvedic literature explains that tonsillitis is a result of vitiated and imbalanced dosha of the body i.e., VÄta, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurveda describes that the pathogenesis of tonsillitis is due to theĀ derangement of Kapha dosha and Rakta. This alters the digestive fire causing impaired digestive capacity and leading to clogged channels of Annavaha Srotas (gastrointestinal tract) and Pranavaha Srotas (respiratory tract). The obstruction of GIT and respiratory channels may manifest the symptoms of tonsillitis like breathing through the mouth, difficulty in swelling,Ā and choking spells at night.

Soft foods includeĀ mashed potatoes, cooked pasta, stews, soups, cooked vegetables, smoothies, and scrambled eggs. Alcohol and carbonated beveragesĀ must be avoided, as these beverages can cause intense pain, irritation, and a burning sensation in the throat.
