Herbal Medicines for Tonsillitis

This article explains herbal medicines for tonsillitis and other options for treatment. The mouth is the primary pathway into our body; everything we eat and drink passes through the mouth and is sometimes used for breathing. It, therefore, becomes crucial that there must be a guard in this pathway to regulate the passage of substances; this is the function of the tonsils. But sometimes, this safety mechanism is bridged as they are outnumbered by microorganisms, causing the tonsils themselves to become infected, resulting in a condition known as tonsillitis.

What is tonsillitis?

The passage from the mouth through the throat is partially covered by two masses of tissues known as the tonsils; they lie just behind the throat and contain antibodies that help in removing harmful bacteria from all the food, water, and air that pass in through the mouth and into the body. But at certain times, the tonsils become infected, leading to inflammation, redness, and severe pains in the throat. This condition is referred to as tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis is a common condition affecting children, especially those in school, as the disease is highly contagious through tiny droplets in the air produced by sneezing and oral contact by kissing.

Symptoms of tonsillitis

Common symptoms of tonsillitis include; throat pain, painful blisters, throat ulcers, swollen neck, difficulty swallowing, headache, loss of appetite, bad breath, and fever. Sometimes the inflammation and swelling caused by the condition can become large enough to block the airways, making breathing through the mouth difficult.

Causes of tonsillitis

Viruses cause tonsillitis; several types of viruses have been implicated. They include influenza (flu) viruses, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) known for causing mononucleosis or kissing disease, herpes simplex virus, and bacteria, the most common being Streptococcus. These microorganisms are spread through tiny airborne spores and transferred from one infected person to another through sneezing and oral contact, like kissing.

Herbal medicines for tonsillitis

Treatment methods mainly depend on the cause of tonsillitis, whether it is a virus or bacteria. The herbal medicines and other treatment options for tonsillitis treatments include the following:

• Medications: Apart from herbal medicines for tonsillitis, relevant antibiotics are subscribed to treat tonsillitis. These drugs can be administered via a single intravenous injection, or oral tablets are taken for ten days. It is essential to finish all the doses even if symptoms of tonsillitis clear out. It helps to rid the tonsils of viruses and bacteria, thereby preventing a recurrence. Commonly prescribed drugs, including acetaminophen and ibuprofen, help ease the pain. Aspirin is not to be given to children as this may result in a severe life-threatening condition known as Reye’s syndrome.
• Herbal remedies: Many people prefer using herbal medicines to treat tonsillitis as the curative effect is quick and long-lasting. Some of the herbs commonly used in this treatment include:
• Garlic: This herb is known for its potent anti-inflammatory action, effectively reducing the swelling and inflammation caused by tonsillitis. This antioxidant plant also contains antibacterial and antiviral properties that make it suitable for treating flu, colds, and tonsillitis.
• Honey and lemon juice: A mixture of these two is very active in relieving the pains caused by tonsillitis and is easy to be administered to children. There are no known side effects from taking this mixture, so it can be taken as needed to relieve the pain.
