tonsils Enlarged

Chronic Tonsillitis - These people have a chronic low grade infection of the tonsils. Often they have large crypts which are difficult to sterilize with antibiotics. The lymph nodes in_ the neck are usually swollen from constant stimulation. Sometimes the crypts retain food and debris leading to chronic halitosis (bad breath) and this in and of itself may be an indication for tonsillectomy. The typical history from these patients is that their sore throat gets better on antibiotics, but then comes back as soon as they stop.
