Abstract Tonsils function as a defense system and aid in keeping your body free of infections. About 5% to 40% of cases of tonsillitis are caused by bacterial infection, which is the most frequent cause of the condition. There are several different forms of tonsillitis, including viral tonsillitis and bacterial tonsillitis, which is brought on by bacteria like streptococcal pharyngitis. Tonsil redness and swelling are its symptoms. Tonsils that are covered in white or yellow patches or have a sore throat, swallowing problems, fever, swollen tonsils, etc. There are just a few treatment options, including surgery to remove the tonsils, medication such NASIDs and antibiotics, and home remedies. A tonsillectomy is a surgical procedure that totally removes the tonsil. Different methods are used to accomplish it. Any method of tonsillectomy is acceptable as long as the crypts are kept open and some tonsil tissue is left behind, including laser, radiofrequency, shaver, coblation, bipolar scissor, and Colorado needle. Even the finest surgeon will have a postoperative haemorrhage because bleeding is a possibility with all surgical methods. After cold dissection with ligature or suturing, there is the least chance of haemorrhage. A increased risk of late bleeding exists with all "hot" procedures using laser, radiofrequency, coblation, mono- or bipolar forceps. In seriously afflicted infants with recurrent tonsillitis, an antibiotic allergy, PFAPA syndrome (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis), and peritonsillar abscess, total extracapsular tonsillectomy is still advised. It affects the patients' immunity.
