Tonsillitis refers to the inflammation or infection of the tonsils, which are two oval-shaped glands located at the back of the throat. It is usually caused by viruses or bacteria and is characterized by symptoms like sore throat, difficulty swallowing, swollen tonsils, fever, and sometimes white or yellow patches on the tonsils. Treatment may involve rest, fluids, pain relievers, and antibiotics in bacterial cases. Severe or recurrent cases may require tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils).
