The tonsillitis (angina) is an infection of the tonsils (tonsils) with bacteria, usually streptococci. The disease is transmitted mainly by droplet infection. When you cough or sneeze, the bacteria are passed on. Tonsillitis occur mainly in spring and winter. They affect preferably school-age children, less often small children.
The tonsils are located at the junction of the oral cavity to the throat between the anterior and posterior arch of the palate. They are, in addition to other tissues of the body, with responsibility for training the immune system. In tonsillitis, the tonsils are swollen, bright red and have white to yellowish streak-like, punctate or continuous, oily coating. In addition, the lymph nodes in the angle of the jaw are painfully swollen. Strikingly, the slurred speech. Throat and swallowing pain, fever and malaise are more pronounced in typical symptoms of tonsillitis. An accompanying symptom is unpleasant mouth odor. In severe cases it can lead to respiratory distress or trismus. With a jaw clamp it to the person concerned is not possible or painful to open your mouth.
We distinguish acute from chronic tonsillitis. Acute tonsillitis (tonsillitis acuta, tonsillitis) is a sudden inflammation of the tonsils. With a chronic tonsillitis (tonsillitis chronica), the tonsils swell up again and again. Usually the disease is asymptomatic poorer than the acute form.
