What causes chronic cryptic tonsilitis?

Chronic cryptic tonsillitis is primarily caused by the accumulation of debris, including food particles, dead cells, and bacteria, in the crypts or crevices of the tonsils. This can lead to recurrent infections, inflammation, and the formation of tonsil stones. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, recurrent upper respiratory infections, and a weakened immune system can contribute to its development. Additionally, anatomical variations in the tonsils may predispose some individuals to this condition.

Does circumcision cause tonsils?

No. circumcision is the removal of foreskin from the penis, which is in a completely different part of the body than the tonsils, which are located in the throat. Every human being has tonsils, which is a natural part of the human body so it is TONSILITIS that I believe is being referred to here, which is an inflammation of the tonsils and no, removing the foreskin of the penis does not cause tonsil issues of any kind.
