SCHWABE Alpha-Tons (Tonsillitis)

DESCRIPTION :-

Acute inflammation of the tonsils is a common painful condition mostly in children which should not be neglected because of the serious complications which sometimes occur like rheumatism and glomerulonephritis.

1) Acute tonsillitis may have the tonsil involved as general inflammation of the pharynx or it may be follicular which is a very common form where the tonsil is red and swollen and becomes filled with pus. It is a very painful condition, pain sometimes extends to the ears. Tonsillitis is abrupt in onset. It starts with sore-throat, difficulty swallowing associated with malaise, fever, headache and pain in limbs.

2) Chronic tonsillitis may occur in persons who had repeated acute attacks. Tonsils form a part of a ring of lymphoid tissue which is situated in the upper air passages working as the first line of defence against infection entering either by respiratory or digestive tracts. The second line of defence consists of cervical glands, which drain it. In chronic conditions, the inflammation can spread to surrounding organs.

3) Alpha – Tons takes care of most problems related to tonsillitis.
