Causes of Tonsil Pus
Bacterial Tonsillitis: Throat infections caused by streptococcal bacteria are one of the common reasons for pus on the tonsils.
Viral Infections: Certain viruses, like the influenza virus and Epstein-Barr virus, can also cause tonsillitis and lead to pus formation.
Chronic Sinusitis: Chronic sinus infections may spread bacteria and fungi to the tonsils, contributing to pus.
Immune Deficiency: A weakened immune system increases the risk of bacterial and viral infections on the tonsils.
Treatments for Tonsil Pus
Medical Treatment
Antibiotics: Antibiotics are used in cases of severe bacterial infection.
Painkillers and Anti-Inflammatories: Medications like paracetamol and ibuprofen help reduce pain and inflammation.
Antiseptic Mouthwashes: These help disinfect the throat and reduce inflammation.
Home Remedies
Saltwater Gargle: Add a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water and gargle several times a day to relieve inflammation and disinfect the throat.
Lemon and Honey Tea: Drinking warm green tea with lemon juice and honey soothes a sore throat and acts as a natural antibacterial.
Surgical Procedures
In chronic or recurrent cases, tonsil removal (tonsillectomy) may be recommended as a final option.
