	Tonsillitis, Enlarged Tonsils, Swollen Tonsils, Tonsil Infection
		Chronic or recurring tonsillitis is a common reason for children and adults to have their tonsils removed, a procedure known as a tonsillectomy.
		When tonsillitis is present, tonsil infection and swollen tonsils are the most common symptoms, along with the surrounding throat area often being infected at the same time (pharyngitis).
		Tonsil and throat infections may be caused by either a virus or bacteria, and can be spread from one person to the other through coughing, sneezing and nasal fluids.

	Tonsil and Adenoid Problems
		The sensory supply to the lingual tonsils and the base of the tongue is provided by the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, although some small contribution may come from the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve.
		The pharyngeal tonsil is formed by numerous variable folds of lymphoid tissue within the mucous membrane of the roof and posterior wall of the nasopharynx.
		The tonsil is inserted through the fenestra of the instrument and the guillotine blade is closed to amputate the tonsil and its capsule.

	Tonsil Stones \| Tonsil Stone \| Bad Breath
		Tonsil Stones (tonsilloliths) are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils.
		This debris (which can include mucous from post nasal drip) putrifies in the back of your throat, and collects in the tonsil crypts (small divots or pockets which appear on the surface of the tonsils).
		So, even if you have your tonsils removed, unless you remove or hinder these anaerobic bacteria, your friends may still exhibit those tell-tale signs that YOU have bad breath!

	Tonsil infection
		Tonsillitis (pronounced ton-sil-lie-tiss) is an inflammatory condition of the tonsils due to bacteria, allergies or respiratory problems.
		Tonsillitis often spread from one person to another when there is contact of fluids of someone who has tonsillitis.
		Tonsillitis caused by streptococcus bacteria must be treated with penicillin or other suitable antibiotics in order to prevent the development of rheumatic fever.

	Tonsil and Adenoid Disease (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Tonsils and adenoids are masses of tissue that are similar to the lymph nodes or "glands" found in the neck, groin, and armpits.
		Tonsils and adenoids are near the entrance to the breathing passages where they can catch incoming germs, which cause infections.
		The two primary reasons for tonsil and/or adenoid removal are (1) recurrent infection despite antibiotic therapy and (2) difficulty breathing due to enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids.

	Tonsil Summary
		Inflammation of these tonsils is commonly referred to as tonsillitis, a condition characterized by a painful swelling of the throat often associated with fever and difficulty in swallowing.
		Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils and will often, but not necessarily, cause a sore throat and fever.
		These small whitish plugs, termed "tonsilloliths" and sometimes known as "tonsil stones," have a foul smell and can contribute to bad breath; furthermore, they can obstruct the normal flow of pus from the crypts, and may irritate the throat (people with tonsil stones may complain of the feeling that something is stuck in their throat).

	Tonsils
		Tonsils (palatine, lingual and pharyngeal) consist of lymphatic nodules lying in a subepithelial position, separated from underlying tissues by a connective tissue capsule.
		The lymphoid tissue of the palatine tonsils is penetrated by deep crypts lined by stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium continuous with the same type of epithelium overlying the palatine tonsils.
		The next characteristic that is important in distinguishing the pharyngeal tonsils is the presence of Psuedostratified Epithelium, indicated by the red arrows.

		They are part of a ring of defenders, Waldeyer's Ring (which includes the tonsils, adenoids, and other lymphoid tissue), encircling the back of the throat as an important line of defense.
		Not too long ago, tonsils were routinely removed for the sole crime of being swollen and inflamed.
		We didn't understand, then, that the tonsils purposely accept the infections to prevent the organisms from traveling deeper, and to show the invaders to the developing immune system to train it for the future.

	LABBS - Tonsil information
		TONSIL is less an official organisation, more an informal association, whose function is to serve its member choral organisations.
		TONSIL began because these societies felt the need to respond as a group rather than individually to the wide variety of ideas and issues affecting the future of youth choral singing.
		The message is collaboration not competition and the aim to make the public and politicians more aware of the rapidly deteriorating choral opportunities available to young people, particularly in primary schools which have seen the demise of the 'music specialist' of former years.

		Surgical removal of the tonsils and adenoids (known as a TandA) is one of the most common operations performed on children in the U.S. Only 2% or 3% of children have adequate medical reasons for this procedure.
		Rarely, large tonsils and adenoids interfere so much with breathing that blood oxygen is reduced and the right side of the heart goes into failure.
		The tonsil is also quite firm to the touch, and usually enlarged lymph nodes are found on the same side of the neck.

	Tonsils and Tonsillectomies
		Tonsils are glandular tissue located on both sides of the throat.
		This procedure involves the controlled removal of all obstructing tonsil tissue - however, a small layer of tonsil tissue is purposely left in place to protect the underlying throat muscles.
		Since the residual tonsil tissue remains, there is a very slight chance that it can re-enlarge or become infected and require more tonsil surgery.
