Abstract
Intermittent infections can disrupt the normal development and progress of a child. Tonsillitis refers to the inflammation of the tonsils, which are two oval-shaped pads at the back of the throat and play a crucial role as the immune system's first line of defence. Tonsillitis significantly impacts the quality of life due to its recurrent nature. It is a prevalent condition, with approximately 8 lacks cases reported annually in India. While current medicine offers symptomatic relief, it does not effectively prevent recurrence and may also lead to side effects. Moreover, persistent conditions often lead to tonsillectomy, which also comes with its own set of challenges and drawbacks. Therefore, there is a pressing need to discover a safe and effective remedy that not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances overall well-being. In Ayurvedic terminology, Tonsillitis can be correlated with "Tundikeri," a condition classified under "Mukharoga" (diseases of the oral cavity). According to Ayurvedic texts, Tundikeri manifests as a swelling resembling a cotton fruit at the base of the temporo-mandibular joint. By analysing signs and symptoms, Tundikeri can be equated with Tonsillitis, characterized by inflammation of the tonsils—two oval-shaped tissue pads at the throat's rear, one on each side. Tundikeri is typically caused by digestive impairment, aggravation of Kapha, and Rakta dosha due to improper diet, poor oral hygiene, and a sedentary lifestyle. Ayurveda offers diverse treatment modalities to address such conditions. This paper aims to elucidate the clinical presentation of Tundikeri and explore its management through Ayurvedic principles.
