What is Sore Throat?

Also called: Pharyngitis, Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Inflammation of the Tonsils

Tonsilitis or Quinsy or Pharyngitis or Sore Throat is an infective disease caused by the Inflammation of the Tonsils characterized by Sore Throat and is seen mostly in small children and infants. Tonsilitis or Pharyngitis is caused by the bacterium known as streptococcus. The tonsils and adenoids are structures at the back of the throat. Tonsils trap the germs and protect our body from harmful pathogens. Sometimes your tonsils and adenoids become infected themselves. Tonsillitis makes your tonsils sore and swollen or in other words causes the Inflammation of the Tonsils. The first treatment for infected tonsils and adenoids is antibiotics. If you have frequent infections or trouble breathing, you may need surgery. Surgery to remove the tonsils is tonsillectomy. Surgery to remove adenoids is adenoidectomy. A collection of pus that requires surgical drainage, or pocket of pus, that forms around a tonsil is also known as Quinsy.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work! She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass? And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
