Tonsilitis Causes Diet Treatment

           A tonsil is a collection of  lymphoid tissue. The tonsils are part of the lymphatic system, which helps to fight infections.

          The tonsils are at the back of the throat, one on either side. If they haven’t been removed, you can see them when you open your mouth wide and look in the mirror. Both are part of your immune system. As part of the immune system, the tonsils fight infection; they are first line of defense in the throat, and when they are doing their job fighting infections, you get a sore throat. The tonsils usually swell a bit and get red when that’s happening. 

Tonsils itself is not a disease. There function is to protect the throat against any disease.
