Is tonsilitis caused by eating too much sweets? My son is really fond of eating sweets and he gets tonsilitis quite often.

Well yeah, excessive eating of sweets, toffees, chewing gums, tartaric
acid and the like can cause tonsilitis. These irritate the throat.

I have also heard that excessive use/consumption of condiments, spices, and acrid, pungent and astringent food can cause inflammation of the tonsils. So do food with lots of artificial coloring and food preservatives.

Untreated recurring tonsilitis can cause the spread of infection. And
this infection may eventually get to the heart, thus causing Rheumatic
Fever; to the lower respiratory tract, causing bronchitis; or to the
kidnets, causing Glomerulonephritis.

There are many conditions before doctors advise the removal of tonsils. Tonsils need to be saved as much as possible because they serve as protectors or guards so that the infection doesn't directly enter or invade the mid-chest area. Tonsilectomy can also be a fatal operation.Â

Tonsillitis is spread through the air in droplets when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. You may then become infected after breathing in these droplets or getting them on your skin or on objects that come
