A sore throat is discomfort, pain, or scratchiness in the throat. A sore
throat often makes it painful to swallow.
Like colds, the vast majority of sore throats are caused by viral
infections. This means most sore throats will NOT respond to antibiotics. Many
people have a mild sore throat at the beginning of every cold.
When the nose or sinuses become infected, drainage can run down the back
of the throat and irritate it, especially at night. Or, the throat itself can
be infected.
Strep throat is the most common bacterial cause of sore throat. Strep
throat can occasionally lead to rheumatic fever. Strep throat often includes a
fever (greater than 101°F), white draining patches on the throat, and swollen
or tender lymph glands in the neck. Children may have a headache and stomach
pain.
Sore Throat Symptoms

your neck

the back of your throat
discomfort when swallowing
a high temperature (fever) of
38C (100.4F) or over
aching muscles

Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils.
The tonsils are lymph nodes in the back of the mouth and top of the
throat. They normally help to filter out bacteria and other microorganisms to
prevent infection in the body. They may become
so overwhelmed by bacterial or viral infection that they swell and
become inflamed, causing tonsillitis. The infection may also be present in the
throat and surrounding areas, causing pharyngitis.
Tonsillitis is extremely common (children).
Symptoms of tonsillitis include a sore throat, (which may be experienced
as referred pain to the ears), painful/difficult swallowing, coughing,
headache, myalgia (muscle aches), fever and chills.
Tonsillitis is characterized by signs of red, swollen tonsils which may have a
purulent coating of white patches (i.e. pus). Swelling of the eyes, face, and
neck may occur.
It is also important to understand that symptoms will be experienced
differently for each person. Cases that are caused by bacteria are often
followed by skin rash and a flushed face. Tonsillitis that
is caused by a virus will develop symptoms that are flu-like such as
runny nose or aches and pains throughout the body.
Acute tonsillitis: caused by bacteria and viruses and + ear pain when
swallowing, bad breath, and drooling along with sore throat and fever. In this
case, the surface of the tonsil may be bright red
or have a grayish-white coating, while the
lymph nodes in the neck may be swollen. The most common form of acute
tonsillitis is strep throat, which can be followed by symptoms of skin rash,
pneumonia, and ear infection. Extreme tiredness and malaise are also
experienced with this condition with the enlargement of the lymph nodes and
adenoids.
Chronic tonsillitis: persistent infection in the tonsils. Since this
infection is repetitive, crypts or pockets can form in the tonsils where
bacteria can store. Frequently, small, foul smelling stones (tonsilloliths) are found within these crypts that are made
of high quantities of sulfur. These stones cause a
symptom of a full throat or a throat that has something caught in the back. A
foul breath that is characterized by the smell of rotten eggs (sulfur) is also a symptom of this condition. Other symptoms
that can be caused by tonsillitis that are not normally associated with it
include snoring and disturbed sleep patterns. These conditions develop as the
tonsils enlarge and begin to obstruct other areas of the throat. A person's
voice is generally affected by this type of illness and changes
in the tone of voice a person normally has.
A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure in which the tonsils are removed
from either side of the throat. The procedure is performed in response to cases
of repeated occurrence of acute tonsillitis or adenoiditis, obstructive sleep apnea, nasal airway obstruction, snoring, or peritonsillar abscess. Sometimes the adenoids are removed
at the same time, a procedure called adenoidectomy. Tonsillectomy remains one
of the most common surgical procedures in children.

Guajacum officinale:
It is one of the most useful remedy in tonsillitis + severe stiffness
and dryness of
the throat. The
swallowing is painful; there is
excessive dribbling of the saliva;
there is burning pain in the throat; right tonsil is more affected than
the left; warm drinks and warm air aggravate the throat pain; pain in throat
ext. ear when swallowing; excessive suppuration in the tonsils. Tongue coated
heavily, white like a fur.

Useful in the simple form, not in the parenchymatous

involved, not the parenchyma, which calls for Belladonna. Numerous points of
beginning follicular secretion are present.

Tonsils tend to suppurate (r.). Chronic induration

[Hughes] most prominent for acute tonsillitis, saying that, in his
hands, it has been of almost unfailing efficacy; (trouble in the parenchyma of
the glands), and suppuration rarely follows its use. It suits comparatively
mild cases, who have an attack from any exposure. it removes the predisposition
to attack.
Very useful in cases where every cold settles in the tonsils (in
children with chronic enlargement of those glands). The chief in chronic
enlargement of the tonsils and it has been very often wrongly prescribed here,
as it corresponds to comparatively few cases. In a tendency to tonsillitis in
scrofulous children with enlargement of other glands it will be found useful.
Child backward and bashful.
[Nash] Alone is sufficient to abort an attack of quinsy (tonsillitis)

this tendency. Tonsils suppurate from every cold, smarting pain on swallowing,
