This is characterized by purulent smear on the throat, fever and pain. If medical treatment fails to adequately cure the condition and the infectious material is not eradicated from the tonsilar tissue, then chronic tonsillitis may develop.<\/p><p>Chronic Tonsillitis usually causes enlargement of the tonsils (image) and recurrent infectious episodes. Apart from the nuisance and long-lasting discomfort, it can be complicated by severe rheumatic damage to the heart and kidneys. In chronic tonsillitis, removal of the tonsils may be indicated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-580bd444 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"580bd444\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1da94d22 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1da94d22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Tonsillectomy<\/strong><\/h4><p>When the problems caused by the tonsils are more than the benefit from their presence, the surgeon recommends removal. The decision is usually based on history, i.e. on the number and severity of the episodes of tonsil infections during a year. Sometimes, the size of the tonsils is so large, that they intrude feeding or breathing, and they cause snoring, or even sleep apnea. In these cases, removal is also indicated.<\/p><p>Tonsillectomy is the commonest operation in ENT surgery. Nowadays it is done under general anaesthesia, and lasts approximately half hour. The patient is discharged from hospital on the next day, on oral analgesics and instructions for special diet. The healing is almost complete in two weeks, but we recommend no physical strain for 3 weeks in total, to avoid postoperative bleeding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a0a91ea sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6a0a91ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e3b3c8 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"6e3b3c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n    This website aims at providing simplified scientific information and not medical advice on specific conditions or individual cases.
