Hello All,
I am 34, and had a big time problem with my tonsils when I was a child. Every now and then, a suggestion would come that I should go for
Tonsillectomy.
Somehow, that decision was never taken my parents, and here I am, hail and hearty with most of the tonsils related problem gone long back. Yes, I do suffer from colds more than anyone else in my family, but it is manageable (may be because I suffered more in the past). Off course, sore throats are less common and less scary also, as the severity and their running time is much less now.
Now, coming to most cases here, your doctors must have had a valid reason for telling you folks that this surgery is required, but I would like to share a few facts with you, if at all, you are not aware of them.
Tonsils are four little lymph glands situated in your throat. Actually, tonsils do a very important job of
trapping bacteria in their crypts. Then the phagocytes from the blood consume these bacteria, hence the infection is trapped before it reaches the bronchial tubes and lungs. When these warriors are
overwhelmed by the striking bacteria, they get infected, inflamed and enlarged and tonsillitis occurs. You then have to
nurse them back to health instead of ignoring, and worse still, think about getting them removed. Think about getting rid of them only when they are getting chronically infected, that too, after you have tried all possible treatments including
herbal preparations.
It has been seen that the chances of getting upper respiratory infections
increase manifold once these are removed. Some of you feel better after the operation simply because your inflamed tonsils were a bigger pain than the problems you might be facing without them. Had they been taken good care of then, you would probably (yes, Tonsillectomy could become a necessity in few cases) had led a better life without the need of surgery. Now, it is well established that a simple enlargement of them or an infection in them, twice or thrice a year, doesn’t call for their removal.
There are effective natural remedies that can help to support and maintain throat and tonsil health, boost immune functioning and fight tonsil infection when it occurs. Herbal and homeopathic remedies contain carefully selected ingredients that are gentle on the body’s system, without harsh risks of unwanted side effects or addiction.
Use Gallium aperine, also known as Cleavers, which is an excellent cleansing tonic with a particularly beneficial effect on all the lymph glands, including the tonsils. Salvia officinalis benefits all conditions of the mouth and throat and has well-known herbal astringent, antibiotic and antiseptic properties.
There are a number of homeopathic remedies, such as Belladonna and Merc. Sol recommended in the treatment of acute tonsillitis and can help to clear the infection as well as prevent unnecessary tonsillectomies.
So, I would suggest (pardon me if I am not aware of something about you which renders the whole discussion useless), that you follow the link below for a lot more information and suggestions (slightly different from what you must have been told till now) and see if it helps.
Hope all this helped
Good Luck!
