The palatine tonsils are a kind of barrier to the penetration of pathogens, which are spread by airborne droplets. Penetrating into their mucous membranes and into lacunae (a kind of gate through which a special secret is released that resists infections), pathogenic microorganisms activate a protective reaction that fights against them.
But there are situations when the palatine tonsils are not able to resist infection, as a result of which they become inflamed. This phenomenon in medical terminology is called tonsillitis (tonsillitis). Treatment of tonsillitis with folk remedies includes various methods, each of which allows you to stop inflammation, eliminate unpleasant symptoms and infection.
