Every doctor must maintain a strong knowledge of the fundamentals. A doctor's career will benefit from having a firm grasp of the principles of medicine. Simply comprehending the diagnosis merely constitutes half knowledge, and half knowledge might be extremely dangerous! In order for every doctor on Medflix to build their foundations and subsequently enhance their practices, we are bringing you the fundamentals of medicine, where we go over both the concepts taught in medical school and how they apply in modern practice.

Patients with tonsillitis often present with a sore throat, a common symptom with a myriad of possible diagnoses. The differential diagnosis for tonsillitis is broad and includes pharyngitis, retropharyngeal abscess, epiglottitis, and Ludwig angina. Symptoms of acute tonsillitis include fever, tonsillar exudates, sore throat, and tender anterior cervical chain lymphadenopathy. Patients may also note odynophagia and dysphagia secondary to tonsillar swelling. For the majority of patients, tonsilitis is a self-limiting disease. Given the frequency of viral etiologies, the mainstay of treatment of acute tonsillitis is supportive care, including analgesia and hydration. Medications such as NSAIDs can provide symptomatic relief. Let us understand all the clinical aspects of Tonsilitis from Dr. Halwai, Consultant ENT Surgeon.
