According to Dr. Dr. Randeep Guleria, Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi (India), tonsillitis occurs when tonsils are infected, often caused by bacteria or viruses. Winter is an easier time for this situation to develop and here are the reasons:
Weak immune system
In the winter, the body's immune system can become weak due to lack of sunlight, leading to a deficiency of vitamin D. This makes the body more susceptible to infection, including tonsillitis.
Increased risk of respiratory infections
Winter is the season of colds, flu and other respiratory infections. These diseases easily spread and can lead to tonsillitis, especially in children and people with weak immune systems.
Dried air
The cold and dry air in the winter dries the throat, causes irritation and can worsen tonsillitis or cause the disease to recur in people with chronic tonsillitis.
Herbal mouthwash to treat tonsillitis
Here are some herbs that can help control tonsillitis and soothe the pain:
Garges with salt water: Salt water is a simple and effective method to reduce pain and discomfort due to tonsillitis. Mix a teaspoon of salt in warm water and rinse your mouth several times a day to reduce inflammation.
