Recurrent Tonsillitis Treatment at DRHC Dubai ENT Clinic

Recurrent tonsillitis is a persistent condition where the tonsils become inflamed multiple times a year, causing discomfort and health complications. At DRHC Dubai ENT Clinic, our experienced specialists offer advanced treatment solutions to help patients overcome recurrent tonsillitis effectively.

What is Recurrent Tonsillitis?

Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, the two lymphoid tissues at the back of the throat. When this condition occurs multiple times in a year, it is classified as recurrent tonsillitis. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as abscess formation and difficulty breathing.

Causes of Recurrent Tonsillitis

Several factors contribute to repeated episodes of tonsillitis, including:

• Bacterial or viral infections – Commonly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep throat) or viral infections such as the Epstein-Barr virus.
• Weakened immune system – Frequent infections due to reduced immunity.
• Chronic exposure to irritants – Smoke, pollution, and allergens may increase susceptibility.
• Enlarged tonsils – Can harbor bacteria and lead to repeated infections.
• Close contact with infected individuals – Higher risk in school children and those in shared spaces.

Symptoms of Recurrent Tonsillitis

Patients suffering from recurrent tonsillitis may experience:

• Frequent sore throat and difficulty swallowing
• Swollen, red tonsils with white patches or pus
• Fever and chills
• Bad breath (halitosis) due to bacterial accumulation
• Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck
