Throat Problems Tonsillitis Tonsils do the job of a watchman. Their role is to warn the body about a possible infection. The tonsils, located at the back of the throat, trap the infection that enters through the mouth and attempts to localize it in the throat. The symptoms of tonsillitis are a sore throat, and red and swollen tonsils that may have white patches on them. Doctors usually prescribe antibiotics
to deal with the infection. Ice cream and cold liquids will soothe your
child's throat. Earlier, it was quite common to have a child's tonsils
removed. Today, a tonsillectomy is only considered if a child has severe
and frequent attacks leading to ear infection and deafness. Tonsillitis
can lead to middle ear infection and chronic deafness.
