TONSILITIS

Remember to consult your

Vet or Homepathic Vet

PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

An inflammatory condition of the faucial tonsil and lymphatic tissue of the pharynx usually due to infection by hemolytic streptococci.

SYMPTOMS: Refusal to eat eagerly. Upon drinking water often vomiting back thick frothy like substances. Spiking Temperatures. Swollen glands which can be felt by hand in throat region. Very Sore ears.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

This condition is usually self-limited but complications may occur when host resistance is low. Normally the tonsils play a unique role in protecting the upper respiratory tract and preventing the infectious process from descending into bronchial passages and lungs. When performing their duties of straining out harmful bacteria, neutralizing them and disposing of them, tonsillar tissue becomes engorged and swollen and the bacteria, neutralizing them and disposing of them, tonsillar tissue becomes engorged and swollen and the lymphatics of the area become congested and sluggish. But if adequate nutrition is established with resulting high resistance, the defensive mechanism of the body easily disposes of the bacterial invasion and tissue returns to a healthy condition. It is only very rarely that tonsils should be surgically removed.

TREATMENT:

Antibodies and lymph cells are produced by the lymphatic system of glands throughout the body in large amounts as a normal response to infection. This constitutes the body's armed forces against disease, but this force cannot adequately perform its duties unless the diet is unusually adequate. In addition, concentrated natural supplements are vitally needed to support adrenal activity due to stress and increase the ability of all defense factors in destroying bacteria, viruses and their resulting toxins. Of all factors vitamin C stands the highest in protecting the host against disease. During infections, vitamin C disappears from the blood because it combines with toxic substances and in combination the two are excreted from the body. Thus the body requires rapid restoration of vitamin C in large amounts. the more vitamin C given, the quicker the recovery.

In chronic cases they may need to be removed.
