Tonsillitis is a common and frequent disease in childhood, divided into acute tonsillitis and chronic tonsillitis. Acute tonsillitis is caused by pathogens invading the tonsils. Symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, fever in severe cases, difficulty swallowing, and examination reveals the tonsils are hyperemic, swollen and festering. The tonsils have acute attacks more than 4 times a year, which can be diagnosed as chronic tonsillitis, mostly caused by pathogens in the fossa of the tonsils. On examination, hypertrophy, hyperemia or secretion of the tonsils and enlargement of the submandibular lymph nodes can be seen

Introduction: Chronic tonsillitis is an inflammation of the palatine tonsils whose complaints last more than 3 months. Chronic tonsillitis can be caused by regularly acute tonsillitis which causes tonsils permanent damage or this damage can occur if the medication is inadequate. The tonsils size and adenoids are small at <7 years old, increases in 7-15 years old and decrease in senility. Aims: To determine the relationship between age and gender with Tonsils enlargement in chronic tonsillitis patients of RSUD dr. Rasidin Hospital Padang in 2018. Method: This research is a qualitative analytic cross-sectional approach and uses a total sampling technique so that there are 70 patients with chronic tonsillitis obtained from the medical record data of RSUD dr. Rasidin Hospital Padang in 2018. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS program, which is the chi-square test. Result: The results showed that chronic tonsillitis sufferers by age were mostly in the 6-11 year old group as much as 26 patients (37.1%). Based on gender, most were found in women as much as 36 patients (51.4%). Based on the tonsils size, most of the T3-T3 size was 21 patients (30.0%). Based on the tonsil enlargement, most of the enlargement of tonsillar hypertrophy as many as 40 patients (57.1%). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between age and enlargement of the tonsils (p = 0.046), and there was no significant relationship between gender and enlargement of the tonsils (p = 0.138) in patients with chronic tonsillitis in RSUD dr.  Rasidin Hospital Padang in 2018.

Tonsillitis is a disease that is often experienced by a person, especially often occurs in children. Based on a survey from the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2012, the incidence of tonsillitis in Indonesia reached around 23%. Acute tonsillitis that is not properly treated can cause chronic tonsillitis, therefore it is important to know the characteristics of tonsillitis symptoms in order not to develop into chronic tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils caused by infection with the Streptococcus group of bacteria or viruses which can be acute or chronic. Symptoms that often appear in tonsillitis are sore throat, difficulty swallowing and when it reaches chronic it can block the respiratory tract. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of tonsillitis patients in children aged 5-12 years at Rspba Bandar Lampung in 2020. The research method in this study was cross-sectional. It is known that the results of the study of tonsillitis patients in children, the most common symptom of which was pain during swallowing (40.5%), tonsillitis patients in children were often found in T2-T2 sizes (37.8%), tonsillitis patients in children were often experienced. by men (71.1%). tonsillitis patients in children are often experienced by ages 7-8 years (48.6%), the incidence of tonsillitis cases is 8.34%, the prevalence of tonsillitis cases in children aged 5-12 years is 41.1%, in children aged 5 -12 years have a lot of chronic tonsillitis. The characteristics found in tonsillitis patients aged 5-12 years, namely swallowing pain, widening of the T2-T2 tonsil size, mostly experienced by men and often occurs at 7-8 years of age, the incidence is 8.34%, prevalence in children. age 5-12 years as much as 41.1% and many children have chronic tonsillitis.

The aim: To elaborate the thermosemiotics of acute and chronic tonsillitis during exacerbation. Materials and methods: 48 patients with acute tonsillitis and 19 patients with chronic tonsillitis were examined during disease exacerbation. Thermographic examination was carried out by the medical thermometer TI-120. Statistical processing of data was carried out with computer program “Microsoft Excel” and “Statistica for Windows” v. 6.0, StatSoft Inc. (USA). Results: Symmetry, homogeneity and isotherm are normal thermographic features of the skin. Presence of hyperthermia in carotid triangle, on the palms were revealed in patients with acute tonsillitis. In chronic tonsillitis in the stage of exacerbation, a moderate overall «warming up» of the neck and projections of the submandibular lymph nodes was also observed. The average temperature indices of the knee joints were statistically significantly higher than the corresponding values in healthy people °C (P<0.01). Conclusion: Only in patients with acute tonsillitis clear strong positive correlation between the temperature of half of the submandibular area and warming in the center of the palm – r = 0.812 ... 0.859 (P<0.01) and in the middle of the tenar on the corresponding side – r = 0.790 ... 0.827 (P<0.01) was observed. Only in the case of chronic tonsillitis, in the stage of exacerbation, the temperature difference over the knees and the lower part of the femur is always greater than 0.5 ºC.

Objective: To establish a correlation between clinical picture and bacteriological findings in chronic tonsillitis and to study the efficacy of surface swabs in predicting tonsillar core bacteria.Design: A prospective study analyzing microbiological flora of 149 patients with chronic tonsillitis, 17 patients with acute tonsillitis, 34 control patients and 31 postoperative patients of tonsillectomy was conducted. Surface swabs and fine needle aspiration was done from the tonsils under anesthesia just prior to surgery. Excised tonsils were cultured. A postoperative   surface swab was taken in thirty one randomly selected patients three weeks after surgery.Results: Core cultures of 102 out of 149 patients (68%) were positive for pathogenic bacteria. Core pathogenic flora was mono microbial in nature. Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest cultured pathogen. When compared with tonsil core pathogens, surface swabs and fine needle   aspiration showed 77% and 93% correlation respectively. After tonsillectomy, elimination of pathogenic bacteria from the oropharynx was seen in 97% of the patients.Conclusion: Tonsillectomy eradicated pathogenic microflora from the oropharynx in almost in all patients. Surface swabs have a high degree of reliability and are a useful adjuvant investigation to supplement the clinical diagnosis and can be useful for decision making.

Inflammation of the tonsils either caused by viruses or bacteria that cause acute tonsillitis if not experiencing complete healing can develop into chronic tonsillitis. The action that is often done in chronic tonsillitis is tonsillectomy. The management of tonsillectomy has psychological consequences on the patient and his family including anxiety. Anxiety can be reduced by nursing actions that focus on therapeutic communication for patients and their families. Objective: The study aims to determine the effect of nurses' therapeutic communication on the anxiety level of parents of patients before tonsillectomy in Mangusada Badung Hospital. Method: The design used was pre experimental pre-post desing test. The sample is the parent of the patient who is going to undergo a tonsillectomy. Data were collected using a HARS questionnaire before and after therapeutic communication. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test. Results: The results of the study of the average respondent had a moderate level of anxiety before therapeutic communication and the level of anxiety decreased after therapeutic communication. Conclusion: of the research is that there is a significant and significant effect of therapeutic communication on the reduction of respondents' anxiety levels before their children undergo tonsillectomy at the Mangusada Badung Regional Hospital p (0.001 <α 0.05).

For many decades, the problem of chronic tonsillitis still does not lose its relevance. However, some aspects of the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic tonsillitis remain unexplored. This article presents the results of a study of the bacterial flora and structural components of the tissues of the palatine tonsils in chronic decompensated tonsillitis and appendix in patients with acute tonsillitis, as well as a comparison of some indicators of the general clinical analysis of peripheral blood in patients with these types of pathology. Chronic tonsillitis occurred in the history of patients with acute appendicitis in 78% of cases, which is ten times the frequency of its detection in the urban population. In all patients with acute appendicitis, palatine tonsil hypertrophy was detected, mainly of the III degree, as well as the presence of liquid or thick caseous pus in the gaps. In chronic decompensated tonsillitis, an increase in the seeding of the palatine tonsils of Streptococcus pyogenes occurs, and in acute appendicitis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes appear on the background of Escherichia coli. Unidirectional changes in the areas of structural components of palatine tonsils in patients with chronic decompensated tonsillitis and appendix in patients with acute appendicitis were revealed. Based on the data obtained, we can assume the similarities and interconnections of the pathogenesis of chronic decompensated tonsillitis and acute appendicitis.

Background: The paediatric age group is more prone to tonsillitis. The management of tonsillitis mainly based on understanding of microbiological and pathological features. This study aimed to discuss the microbiological profile of acute tonsillitis in children. Methods: Children fewer than 18 years age group was included in this study and the children underwent tonsillectomy or in antibiotics for at least one month were excluded from study. The throat swabs were taken for microbiological diagnosis. Results: The most common isolates were Streptococcus viridians group, Group A ?-hemolytic Streptococci. There were only 3 cases with polymicrobial growth Conclusions: The understanding of microbiological profile could help in management of acute tonsillitis. The pathological profile can help us to identify the organisms which are difficult to culture. Keywords: Acute tonsillitis, Bacteria, Profile
