Tonsillitis or inflammation of the tonsils is a painful condition of throat, and in its chronic form it can become a source of recurring episodes of colds. With the winter setting in, it needs a special mention.
There is a marked change in the attitude of the medical world as regards the tonsils. The old custom of “tonsil snatching”, that once meant millions of tonsil operations a year, is dying a well-earned death.
On this point, orthodox medicine has rallied down to the conservative view held by the homeopathic school. It has been an unsaid homeopathic rule to save the tonsils whenever possible. With careful application of the properly indicated remedies, I have seen homeopathy succeeding in many cases when failure seemed certain, and especially among children in whose case excising (removal) is rarely, if ever, justifiable.
According to homeopathic philosophy, such local conditions are a result of the weak immune system and almost invariably due to constitutional disturbances. The removal of tonsils does not improve these disturbances in the least. Homeopathic philosophy stresses on the necessity to study the condition of the body as a whole before one deals with tonsillitis.
Tonsils form part of the body’s defences. Their removal generally means rendering the body more susceptible for infections. Also the tonsils are a kind of indicators of the general health of the body. One might compare them to the barometer in the hall. Well, certainly one cannot improve the weather by smashing the barometer!
The treatment of enlarged tonsils with homeopathy has two stages in cases of long standing. Acute inflammation needs to be treated with a different set of medicines and its recurrence to be treated once the acute stage is over. Deep-acting medicines are required to treat the constitution and bring about lasting relief. It is true that this method takes a longer time, but it is also the best one because not only the tonsils are cured but also the patient.
Belladonna
It stands at the head of the list of remedies in tonsillitis. Very useful in acute stages where tonsils are bright red and swollen, and there is difficulty in swallowing fluids
Baryta carb
It is indicated in tonsillitis, with the formation of pus, when the right side of the throat is worse than the left, enlargement of the glands in the neck, under the jaw and behind the ears. It is one of the best remedies for removing the tendency to tonsillitis, particularly in children, who are sensitive to every little exposure to damp or cold weather which leads to a fresh attack of tonsillitis. It is one of the remedies to prevent the return of this condition and changes the constitutional tendency of the patient.
Iodides
Iodides in various combinations are extremely useful in treating inflamed tonsils.
Constitutional treatment
It is aimed at stopping the recurrence of such attacks. Deep-acting medicines like Tuberculinum, Calcarea Phos, Psorinum and Sulphur are often employed

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Santanu Mandal from Kolkata,West Bengal.
My wife(28 yrs) is regularly suffering from throat chocking,nose congestion & voice restriction troubles.She had these symptoms from earlier period also, but recently the problem has become multifold.
We have checked with ENT specialists time to time & she is said to have pharingites & Tonsilitis & accordingly doctors prescribed relevant antibiotics to cure that.
Recently she had developed these problem very severely & I checked with one ENT sergeon from a renowned hospital in Kolkata.He has advised to perform Tonsillectomy-operation to be cured from this trouble permanently.
I would like to take a second opinion about this & would request you to kindly advise me if there is any other way out of treating this problem other than operation.
I have heard about developing complications after Tonsil operation.Is it true?
Request to kindly help by giving your feedback please.
With Best Regards,
Santanu Mandal

the best way is to go for homeopathic treatment
Hi swetha , this is Ravi.. HIV my tonsils operated wen I wa 18… Bt my problem has not solved .. My immunity has decreed a lot.. Get Ill very fast .. Wid fever and other infection.. HIV any solution
i dont think removing tonsils is good. actually doctors say that if they r infected u gotta go for a surgery.. but it decreases the immunity if u get it removed.
but its not even good to have infected tonsilitis. gargling with salt water and not having cold things like icecream and cold water helps a lot.
i got rheumatoid arthritis when i was 14. and doctors said its bcoz of the infected tonsilitis. and i went thru the surgery. but i dont think thats the right thing to do. after affects r many. its not at all suggestable to remove them.
the best option is to go for a homeopathic treatment. if it is in intial stages, 5 pills of bico 10, thrice a day will do.
My son is suffering from tonsile and adenoids. since last 2 months his tonlis are visible even from out side. this last 2 months he is also suffering from flue. He is under Homeopathic treatment since last 6 months. Still tonsil and adenoids problem is there.
Can you suggest what should be the proper treatment.
Thanks
