Tonsillitis & Throat Infection Care

A sore, scratchy throat that makes swallowing painful, or recurring throat infections that keep coming back? The Wellbeing Polyclinic offers prompt, reliable care to get you — or your child — back to feeling normal.

What is Tonsillitis?

Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, usually caused by viral or bacterial infection, leading to a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and sometimes fever — common in both children and adults.

Recognizing the Symptoms

1. Sore, Painful Throat: Often worsened when swallowing food or liquids.
2. Swollen Tonsils & Fever: Visible redness or swelling, sometimes accompanied by fever and fatigue.
3. Recurring Infections: Frequent throat infections that affect daily life or school/work attendance.
