Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, two oval-shaped pads of tissue at the back of the throat. It can cause sore throat and difficulty swallowing.

Most cases of tonsillitis are caused by viral infections, although bacterial infections can also be responsible. Treatment depends on the cause: If caused by bacteria, antibiotics will be prescribed If caused by a virus, antibiotics are not effective, but the body will fight the infection naturally

Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses, which can cause nasal blockage and fluid buildup that may lead to infection. It is commonly caused by colds, allergies, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum.
