        abstract = {Tonsillitis is a common inflammatory condition of the tonsils frequently associated with recurrent episodes and incomplete relief from conventional treatment. Homoeopathy provides an individualized and holistic approach to management through careful evaluation of the totality of symptoms. This pilot study was undertaken to assess the utility of the Homoeopathic Medical Repertory by Robin Murphy in the homoeopathic management of tonsillitis. Twelve cases were studied in which individualized homoeopathic remedies were selected through repertorial analysis and subsequently verified with Materia Medica. Patients were followed up periodically and improvement was assessed on the basis of clinical symptoms and using the FeverPAIN scoring system, along with clinical evaluation of local and general symptoms. The selected homoeopathic remedy resulted in marked improvement in FeverPAIN score and overall clinical condition without complications.  Most cases showed marked to moderate improvement in symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty in swallowing, fever, and tonsillar enlargement. The findings indicate that the systematic use of Murphy’s Repertory facilitates accurate remedy selection and supports effective case management. This pilot study highlights the practical applicability of homoeopathic repertorization in the management of tonsillitis and suggests the need for further studies on a larger sample size.},
