Q1: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis? A1: Common symptoms include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, swollen tonsils, fever, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
Q2: How do you diagnose tonsillitis? A2: Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination of the throat, a review of symptoms, and may include a throat swab to test for bacterial infection.

During this period, patients may experience sore throat, mild fever, and slight discomfort. We provide detailed guidance on diet, pain management, and other care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
