Yes you can. You don't have to have them out if you don't want to though. It's only if it gets seriously bad and you get tonsilitis very often, that you may prefer to have them removed.
No, if you have no tonsils then you cannot have inflamed tonsils.
Often suffering from sore throat, fever, pain while swallowing, hoarseness, visibly red and swollen tonsils in the throat? These signs could be symptoms of tonsillitis (inflamed tonsils). Tonsils are lumps of tissue at the back of the throat on either side.
at the base of the scull at the back is tonsills that space can become crowded and the tonsills lie low ,
No.
Yes
The cause for tonsillitis is either viral infections or streptococcal infection. You do not need antibiotic for viral infections. The bacteria which causes tonsillitis is streptococci. Streptococci practically never produce beta lactamase enzyme. Flucloxacillin is used to treat the beta lactamase producing bacteria. The antibacterial action of flucloxacillin itself is very less as compared to penicillin or ampicillin. So flucloxacillin for tonsillitis is a bad choice.
Tonsillitis can cause a bunch of referred pain to the surrounding areas. Many people experience ear pain and jaw pain with tonsillitis. I have also had pain in my molars. Hot liquids can relieve some of the pain.
No, strangle and tonsillitis are not the same thing.
Example sentence - I was sick with tonsillitis three times last winter.
Tonsillitis is caused by bacteria that infect the tonsils. Since there are so many different types of bacteria that can cause tonsillitis, there is no way to know how it originated.
there is an irwin moore sign/squeeze test for chronic tonsillitis (one of the criterias to confirm chronic tonsillitis)
the icd-9 code for chronic tonsillitis is 474.00
