Homoeopathic management of tonsillitis and adenoids focuses on treating the underlying constitutional imbalance rather than just symptoms. The document outlines the conventional treatment of removing tonsils surgically and its drawbacks. It then discusses the homoeopathic perspective of seeing these conditions as local diseases from an internal cause. Over 30 homoeopathic remedies are described which may be selected based on the totality of symptoms to tackle acute episodes and prevent recurrence through constitutional treatment. Lifestyle measures like gargling salt water and avoiding irritants can provide additional relief.

Your tonsils and adenoids are part of your lymphatic system. Your tonsils are in the back of your throat and your adenoids are higher up, behind your nose. They help protect you from infection by trapping germs coming in through your mouth and nose. Sometimes your tonsils and adenoids become infected themselves. Tonsillitis makes your tonsils sore and swollen. Enlarged adenoids can be sore, make it hard to breathe and cause ear problems.
The first treatment for infected tonsils and adenoids is antibiotics. If you have frequent infections or trouble breathing, you may need surgery. Surgery to remove the tonsils is tonsillectomy. Surgery to remove adenoids is adenoidectomy.
Questions to ask to elicit a diagnosis.
Give your differential diagnosis.
Give management plan of most probable diagnosis.
Differentiate between viral upper respiratory tract infection from bacterial pharyngitis / tonsillitis.
Discuss the criteria to prescribe antibiotics for URTI.
Write prescription for viral URTI.
A sore throat is pain or irritation of the throat that often worsens when you swallow.
Fever is the temporary increase in the body's temperature in response to a disease or illness.
There are many clinical scenarios where sore throat is associated with fever. E.g. pharyngitis, tonsilitis, influenza, laryngitis.

Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development.

These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes
Study Resources:
1. Chapter 39, Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology, 14th edition
2. Chapter 34, Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology, 26th edition
3. Chapter 17, Human Physiology by Lauralee Sherwood, 9th edition

2. Tonsillitis
Definition
Tonsillitis refers to inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils. The
inflammation may involve other areas of the back of the throat, including
the adenoids and the lingual tonsils
Tonsils are the first line of defense of the immune system against bacteria
and viruses that may enter the mouth
3. Causative factors
Viral or bacterial infections and immunologic factors lead to
tonsillitis and its complications
Viruses commonly known to cause Tonsillitis are:
Adenoviruses
Influenza virus
Epstein-Barr virus
Parainfluenza viruses
Enteroviruses
Herpes simplex virus
Streptococcus species are common bacterial cause of Tonsillitis
Tonsillitis caused by bacteria streptococcus species typically occurs in children
aged 5 to 15 years, while viral tonsillitis is more common in younger children
4. Clinical Presentation
Acute
Tonsillitis
Chronic
Tonsillitis
Peritonsillar
abscess
(Quinsy)
Recurrent
Tonsillitis
Symptoms usually resolve in three to four days, but may last up to two weeks despite
therapy. Fever, sore throat, foul breath, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing),
odynophagia (painful swallowing), tender cervical lymph nodes. Airway obstruction
due to swollen tonsils may cause mouth breathing, snoring, nocturnal breathing
pauses, or sleep apnoea. Lethargy ,malaise. Hoarseness or loss of voice, headache,
loss of appetite, ear pain. In young children signs of tonsillitis may include drooling
due to difficult or painful swallowing, refusal to eat & irritability
This diagnosis is made when
an individual has multiple
episodes of acute tonsillitis
in a year
Individuals often
have chronic
sore throat,
halitosis,
tonsillitis, and
persistently
tender cervical
nodes
Severe throat pain, fever,
drooling, foul breath,
trismus and muffled ,hot
potato voice
5. Tonsillitis
Clinical Signs
Source: http://www.hcs.calpoly.edu
Tonsils visibly red and swollen
Patches of white discharge on infected
tonsils
Fever and enlarged inflamed tonsils covered
by pus.
Tender cervical lymph nodes and neck
stiffness .
Unilateral bulging above and to the side of
one of the tonsils when peritonsillar abscess
exists. A stiff jaw, difficulty opening the
mouth, and pain referred to the ear may be
present in varying severity
6. Adenoids
The nasopharyngeal tonsil when hypertrophied in response to viral, bacterial
or allergic stimuli, so as to produce symptoms is called Adenoids
This leads to symptoms of nasal obstruction such as:
mouth breathing
noisy breathing
nasal tone of voice
persistent nasal discharge
deafness due to obstruction if Eustachian tubes
Typical facial appearance called “Adenoid Facies” with elongation of the face and an
open-mouthed slack- jaw, prominent eyes
Inflammation of Adenoids may cause persistent nasal discharge, post nasal
drip, cough or otitis media
9. Conventional Treatment
of Tonsillitis and Adenoids
Medication:
Adeno-Tonsillitis resulting from a streptococcal infection is usually treated
with an antibiotic
Unfortunately, there is currently no medication for the viruses that cause
tonsillitis
Surgical removal of Tonsils & Adenoids:
In general, a patient may be a candidate for tonsillectomy if he or she meets one of
the following criteria:
Seven or more episodes of tonsillitis in one year
Five or more episodes of tonsillitis each year over a period of two years
Three or more episodes of tonsillitis a year for a period of three years
Tonsillitis that recurs despite treatment with antibiotics
Airway or swallowing obstruction due to swollen tonsils
10. Drawbacks of conventional treatment
Surgery is often advised arbitrarily even to patients not meeting the criteria
Surgery can never be without its accompanying risks, morbidity and complications
Post operative hemorrhage
Infection
Ear Pain
Poor oral intake of fluids
Lower immunity hence overall increase in susceptibility to infections
Iatrogenic complications
Removing tonsils may reduce the risk of throat infections, it won't necessarily
prevent them completely .
Surgery is an expensive option
12. Hahneman’s classification of diseases
Tonsillitis and Adenoiditis may be categorized as a Local Diseases due to an internal cause
Local Diseases of Internal Cause
Internal cause : Altered immune status
Exciting cause: Exposure to pathogen
