Sign in to saveAlso known as Throat infection - tonsillitis, Tonsillitis (disorder), Tonsillitis, NOS, chronic tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis (disorder), tonsilitis, tonsil inflammation
Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils in the upper part of the throat. It can be acute or chronic. Acute tonsillitis typically has a rapid onset. Symptoms may include sore throat, fever, enlargement of the tonsils, trouble swallowing, and enlarged lymph nodes around the neck. Complications include peritonsillar abscess (quinsy).
Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils in your upper throat that can develop suddenly (acute) or persist over time (chronic), causing symptoms like sore throat, fever, difficulty swallowing, and swollen tonsils and neck lymph nodes. It matters because if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as a peritonsillar abscess, a collection of pus near the tonsils.

扁桃體炎（Tonsillitis），或称扁桃腺炎，通常會快速發病。扁桃體炎屬於咽炎的一種。其症狀包括咽喉痛、發燒、扁桃腺腫大、吞嚥困難、頸部的淋巴結腫大。併發症包括。 扁桃腺炎大多因病毒感染引起，不過約有5%~40%的病例是由細菌感染引起。由A型鏈球菌引起的扁桃腺炎稱為鏈球菌性咽炎。由淋病雙球菌、、流感嗜血桿菌等其他細菌引起則較罕見。扁桃腺炎通常是透過空氣於人群間傳播感染。如等評分系統可以協助釐清可能原因，並可以透過咽拭子或快速鏈球菌檢查法確診。 治療方式為試圖改善症狀及減輕併發症。撲熱息痛（乙醯胺酚）和布洛芬（ibuprofen）可用來止痛；若咽喉發炎時，則通常會建議口服盤尼西林。而對於盤尼西林過敏的病患，可考慮改用頭孢菌素（cephalosoprins）或是大環內酯（macrolides）治療。又如孩童經常罹患此症，亦可考慮直接以杜絕未來再次發炎的風險 在英國，約有7.5%的人平均每3個月會出現1次喉嚨痛，而有2%的人每年必需因此症而看醫生，此症好發於秋、冬季，最常流行於大學以下的各級學校，不過大部分的人都可自然或服藥後痊癒。罹病者即使體內仍可驗出鏈球菌，但有40%的患者在3天內症狀即會緩解，而有80%的患者會在1星期內逐漸康復。服用抗生素則可緩解症狀約16個小時。
