3. Definition
⢠Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsil as a part of waldeyerâs ring
⢠Tonsillitis can spread from air, hand-to-hand, and kissing/ saliva
⢠Tonsillitis can be found in all age, but spesifically in yonug age
⢠Acute tonsillits ď Inflammation of the tonsil that is caused by bacterial or viral
infection ď that occur in 2 weeks
⢠Acute tonsillitis ď acute sore throat ď odinophagia, red and swollen tonsil that
can be accompanied by tonsilâs exudate, cervical lymphadenopathy
⢠Chronic tonsillits ď not clear ď terminology: sore throat that occur in 3 weeks
that is accompanied by inflamation of the tonsil
⢠Chronis tonsillitis ď the disease could be as a progressive disease from acute
tonsillits that didnât get adequate treatment
⢠Etiological agent of acute and chronic tonsillits are usually same
4. Epidemiology
⢠Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsil as a part of waldeyerâs ring ď could be
found in 1,3% of outpatient

40. ⢠Tonsillitis is an inflammation that occurs in the palatine tonsil which is part of the Waldeyer
ring which can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection.
⢠Tonsillitis can be classified into acute tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis, and membranous
tonsillitis
⢠Establishing the diagnosis of tonsillitis includes: history taking regarding exposure to risk
factors, identification of signs and symptoms; physical examination in accordance with the
clinical manifestations of tonsillitis; and supporting examinations to support the
management plan
⢠Tonsillitis is generally managed by: adequate rest; gargle with warm water; drinking warm
water; eating soft foods rich in vitamins and other nutrients; Pharmacological management
based on microorganisms that cause tonsillitis, and tonsillectomy procedures according to
indications and the absence of contraindications.
