Description

Tonsillitis refers to inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils (glands at the back of the throat, visible through the mouth). The clinical features of Tundikeri can be compared with tonsillitis. In acute tonsillitis we may find throat pain, dysphasia, malaise, anorexia, fever and body ache. The tonsils appear to be swollen and congested. Chronic tonsillitis may be a complication of acute tonsillitis.
