Tonsillitis presents with noticeable symptoms, such as:
Sore throat
Difficulty or pain while swallowing
Fever
Red or swollen tonsils
White patches on the tonsils
Bad breath
Swollen glands in the neck
Irritability or loss of appetite in children
These symptoms can vary from mild to severe depending on the infection.
Adenoids are small tissues located behind the nose, near the throat. They help fight infections in early childhood but can sometimes become enlarged or infected (adenoiditis). Enlarged adenoids can block airflow, causing breathing difficulties, snoring, disturbed sleep, and recurrent ear infections. This condition is particularly common in younger children whose adenoids are more active.
Persistent nasal blockage
Mouth breathing
Loud snoring
Sleep disturbance
Recurrent ear infections
Nasal-sounding speech
Daytime tiredness due to poor sleep
Left untreated, enlarged adenoids may lead to long-term issues with breathing and sleep quality.
At Ananya Clinic, our ENT specialist performs a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of throat and breathing symptoms. Diagnosis may include:
Physical throat examination
Checking for redness, swelling, or pus on tonsils
Nasal and oral airway assessment
Endoscopic evaluation for adenoids (if needed)
History of sleep patterns, snoring, and infections
This helps us understand whether the condition is mild, recurring, or chronic.
Most cases of tonsillitis and adenoiditis respond well to medications such as:
Antibiotics (for bacterial infections)
Anti-inflammatory medicines
Pain relievers
Nasal sprays to reduce inflammation
Allergy treatment if allergies are contributing to swelling
We advise supportive care such as warm fluids, throat gargles, proper hydration, and rest to ease symptoms.
In some cases, surgery may be recommended—especially when:
Tonsillitis occurs frequently
Adenoids block the airway
Snoring and sleep issues are severe
Recurrent ear infections are present
Breathing difficulty persists even after medication
Procedures like tonsillectomy (removal of tonsils) or adenoidectomy (removal of adenoids) are safe and commonly performed for long-term relief.
Untreated tonsillitis or adenoid disorders may lead to repeated infections, sleep disturbance, poor concentration, ear problems, and difficulty swallowing. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help restore comfort, improve breathing, and support healthy growth in children.
At Ananya Clinic, we focus on accurate evaluation, child-friendly care, and customized treatment plans. We work closely with parents to ensure clear guidance, minimal discomfort, and long-lasting relief for their children.
