Tonsillitis Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Throat infections cause a sore throat, pain while swallowing and fever. Tonsillitis is infection of the tonsils – two glands at the back of the throat – and is very common in children. Most episodes settle with medicines, but tonsils that get infected again and again, or are very large, may need removal. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, ENT surgeon Dr. Meeta Jain treats throat infections and tonsillitis, including tonsil surgery when needed.
Understanding the Condition
When Are Tonsils Removed?
Tonsils help fight infection in early childhood. Surgery is considered when infections are frequent (for example, many episodes a year), cause missed school or work, lead to a pus collection (quinsy), or when large tonsils and adenoids cause snoring and breathing pauses during sleep.
Common Throat Problems
- Viral sore throat
- Bacterial tonsillitis
- Repeated tonsil infections

Common Questions
Tonsillitis FAQs
Are antibiotics needed for every sore throat?
No. Most sore throats are viral and settle on their own. Your doctor will decide.
Does removing tonsils lower immunity?
No. The body has many other defences. Removing frequently infected tonsils often improves health.
What is the right age for tonsil surgery?
It can be done in children and adults when needed. Your ENT surgeon will advise.
How long is recovery?
Usually 7–10 days, with soft, cool foods and plenty of fluids.
When is hoarseness serious?
A voice change lasting more than 3 weeks, especially in smokers, should be checked by an ENT doctor.
