Tonsillitis is a most common illness in school going children resulting from Pharyngitis. About 30 million children develop Tonsillitis with frequent exposure to bacterial and viral infections. This leads to throat obstruction as well as airways which may pose problems in deglutition later. The Tonsils are part of the immune system, which helps the body to fight infections in children. The tonsil tissues can become diseased with recurrently infected and they lose their effectiveness in helping the immune system. Any infection in a growing child usually hampers the immune system and also the systematic development of a child.
