Tonsillitis

Tonsils (one on each side of throat) are glands, situated at the root of the tongue. They get inflammed there being bad teeth or unhealthy gums present in the mouth or from inhaling bad smells. This inflammation is attended with constitutional symptoms viz., fever, rigor, headache, pain in the joints, hoarse voice, salivation difficulty in swallowing or even breathing.
