for people who had tonsillitis, u can identify by opening ur
mouth big big, take a torch light , shine into ur mouth, deep
inside, obviously first thing i will see a 'thing' hanging down
from the ceiling of ur throat. ( i'm not bio student so i duno the
names) then behind this 'thing' u see the back of ur throat, the
'wall' i call it. tonsils lie at the back of ur throat, the wall it
is. if its infected, with the light from torch u can see the white
patches sticking to the wall.
tonsils are suppose to catch watever bacteria tat comes into ur
mouth before it goes into ur lungs, and inside body i think... and
it'll fight the viruses and bacteria. if its virus, ok our body
will fight the viruses and heal itself. but bacteria is abit hard
to tackle, then we need antibiotics liao.
suppose tonsils got infected, ur neck will feel painful and
swollen, to the extend that u totally dont feel like swallowing ur
saliva, have difficulty in breathing, u dun wan to open ur jaw /
mouth to talk even!
