Mbak,
Untuk amandel/tonsilitis, penyebabnya bisa dua, bakteri atau virus, kalau
bakteri perlu ada usap tenggorokan, untuk tahu bakterinya apa dan butuh
antibiotika apa, jika penyebabnya virus maka gak ada obatnya. Utamanya
adalah banyak minum air hangat, dan juga soup2an gitu deh, supaya
tenggorokannya enakan. Bisa juga dengan humidifier atau terapi uap,
suapaya
ruangannya humid (banyak uap air). Lebih lengkapnya ada di bawah ini ya:
(saya kena amandel, operasi di usia 7 tahunan, ihiks...)
Ini saya ada artikel dari mayoclinic.com
Tonsillitis Introduction
Open your mouth wide in front of a mirror. Do you see your tonsils?
They're
located on each side of your throat, just behind and above your tongue.
Years ago, many young children had their tonsils removed. In fact, surgery
was once the standard treatment for recurrent tonsillitis — inflammation
of
the tonsils caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
Today, tonsils are recognized for their role in filtering harmful bacteria
and viruses that could cause more serious infections. When tonsillitis
strikes, the first line of treatment is typically self-care or
antibiotics.
Surgery is seldom necessary, unless tonsillitis recurs often or it
interferes with breathing or swallowing.
Signs and symptoms
Tonsillitis is characterized by red, swollen tonsils. You may also notice
white patches on the tonsils. Other signs and symptoms of tonsillitis
include:
- Severe sore throat
- Difficult or painful swallowing
- Headache
- Fever and chills
- Enlarged, tender glands (lymph nodes) in the jaw and neck
- Loss of voice

When bacteria and viruses enter your body through your nose or mouth, your
tonsils act as a filter — engulfing the offending organisms in white blood
cells. This may cause a low-grade infection in your tonsils, which
stimulates your immune system to form antibodies against future
infections.
But sometimes the tonsils are overwhelmed by a bacterial or viral
infection.
The result is tonsillitis.
Various viruses and bacteria can cause tonsillitis, including the virus
that
causes mononucleosis (the Epstein-Barr virus) and the bacterium that
causes
strep throat (Streptococcus pyogenes).
Risk factors
Tonsillitis is a common condition, especially in children. Viruses and
bacteria tend to flourish where people are in close contact, such as
schools
and child care facilities.
When to seek medical advice
Although tonsillitis itself usually isn't serious, it can lead to
complications if left untreated. Call your doctor if your sore throat:
- Lasts more than 48 hours
- Gets worse
- Is accompanied by other signs or symptoms
Seek emergency care if you're:
- Drooling
- Unable to eat or drink
- Having trouble breathing
Screening and diagnosis
The doctor will check your tonsils and the back of your throat for signs
of
infection, such as redness and pus. If your tonsils appear to be infected
and you have other signs and symptoms of strep throat, you'll need a
throat
swab. With this simple test, the doctor rubs a sterile swab over the back
of
your throat to get a sample of the secretions. It doesn't hurt, but it may
cause momentary gagging.
The sample will be checked in the lab for the presence of streptococcal
bacteria. Test results are available within minutes to hours, depending on
the testing method. If the strep test is positive, you'll need antibiotics
to treat the infection.
Complications
Left untreated, tonsillitis can lead to a collection of pus between a
tonsil
and the soft tissues around it. This is known as an abscess. The abscess
may
cover a large part of the soft area at the back of the roof of the mouth
(soft palate). Sometimes the swelling can be so severe that the roof of
the
mouth and tongue meet, blocking airflow and making swallowing extremely
difficult. Rarely, the abscess may spread into the bloodstream or into the
neck or chest.
Some strains of streptococcal bacteria that cause tonsillitis can also
cause
kidney inflammation (nephritis) or rheumatic fever, a serious condition
that
can affect the heart, joints, nervous system and skin.
Treatment
Tonsillitis is typically treated with self-care or antibiotics. Although
surgery is no longer the standard treatment for tonsillitis, it may be
recommended in some cases.
*Self-care*
If tonsillitis is caused by a viral infection, you'll need to let the
virus
run its course. Recovery may take a week or two. In the meantime, get
plenty
of rest. Drink warm, soothing liquids — such as soup, broth and tea — and
gargle with warm salt water. Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen
(Advil, Motrin, others) can help reduce fever and decrease pain. Because
of
the risk of Reye's syndrome — a potentially life-threatening illness —
don't
give aspirin to children younger than age 12.
*Antibiotics*
If tonsillitis is caused by a bacterial infection, your doctor will
prescribe antibiotics. Oral antibiotics typically need to be taken for at
least 10 days. Although you'll probably feel better in a day or two, it's
important to finish the full course of antibiotics. Stopping medication
early may cause the infection to come back — which can lead to potentially
serious complications.
If your child has a positive strep test, he or she needs to complete at
least 24 hours of antibiotic treatment before returning to school or child
care. If your child has difficulty swallowing, antibiotics may be given by
injection.
*Surgery
*Surgical removal of the tonsils (tonsillectomy) is rarely needed for
adults. During childhood, surgery may be recommended if:
- Your child has seven or more episodes of tonsillitis in one year
- Your child has five or more episodes of tonsillitis a year for two
years
- Swollen tonsils interfere with your child's breathing or swallowing
- An abscess develops in the tonsils
Tonsillectomy is usually done on an outpatient basis. That means your
child
will be able to go home the day of the surgery. A complete recovery may
take
up to two weeks, however.
After surgery, your child's throat will be sore. He or she may have ear
pain
as well. Encourage your child to suck on ice cubes or frozen fruit pops,
eat
ice cream or sherbet, and drink cold liquids. You may want to use a
cool-mist humidifier in your child's bedroom. While your child is
recovering, keep in mind that he or she will be more susceptible to
infection than usual. Avoid crowds and exposure to anyone who may be ill.
If
your child begins to bleed from the mouth, report it to the doctor
immediately.
Prevention
Frequent hand washing is the best way to prevent all kinds of infections,
including tonsillitis. Wash your hands often, and encourage your children
to
do the same.
When you use soap and water:
- Wet your hands with warm, running water and apply liquid or clean
bar soap. Lather well.
- Rub your hands vigorously for at least 15 seconds. Encourage your
children to wash for as long as it takes to sing their ABCs, "Row, Row,
Row
Your Boat" or the "Happy Birthday" song.
- Scrub all surfaces, including the backs of your hands, wrists,
between your fingers and under your fingernails.
- Rinse well.
- Dry your hands with a clean towel.
- Use a towel to turn off the faucet.
If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Apply about 1/2 teaspoon of the sanitizer to the palm of your hand. Rub
your
hands together, covering all surfaces of your hands, until they're dry.
Other common-sense precautions apply, too. Cough or sneeze into your elbow
or a tissue. Don't share drinking glasses or eating utensils. Avoid close
contact with anyone who's sick. Look for a child care setting with sound
hygiene practices and clear policies about keeping sick children at home.
Self-care
A sore throat can make you miserable. These tips can help.
- *Drink more fluids.* Warm liquids — such as soup, broth and tea —
are good choices.
- *Gargle with warm salt water.* Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces
of warm water, gargle, and then spit out the water.
- *Use honey and lemon.* Stir honey and lemon to taste into a glass of
hot water. Allow it to cool to room temperature before you sip it. The
honey
coats and soothes your throat, and the lemon helps reduce mucus. Note:
Don't
use honey or corn syrup in a drink for children younger than age 1.
- *Suck on a throat lozenge or hard candy.* This stimulates saliva
production, which bathes and cleanses your throat.
- *Humidify the air.* Adding moisture to the air can reduce throat
irritation and make it easier to sleep. Be sure to change the water in a
room humidifier daily and clean the unit at least once every three days to
help prevent the growth of harmful molds and bacteria.
- *Avoid smoke and other air pollutants.* Smoke irritates a sore
throat.
- *Rest your voice.* Talking may lead to more throat irritation and
temporary loss of your voice (laryngitis).
Think about others, too. If you're not feeling well, take a few days off
to
avoid spreading your germs.
