Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils most commonly caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms of tonsillitis include sore throat and fever. While no treatment has been found to shorten the duration of viral tonsillitis, bacterial causes such as streptococcal pharyngitis are treatable with antibiotics. It usually takes one to three weeks to recover.
Common symptoms of tonsillitis include:
In cases of acute tonsillitis, the surface of the tonsil may be bright red and with visible white areas or streaks of pus.
Tonsilloliths occur in up to 10% of the population frequently due to episodes of tonsillitis.
The most common causes of tonsillitis are adenovirus, rhinovirus, influenza, coronavirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. It can also be caused by Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, or HIV. The second most common causes are bacterial. The most common bacterial cause is Group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS), which causes strep throat. Less common bacterial causes include: Staphylococcus aureus ( including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA ),Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, pertussis, Fusobacterium, diphtheria, syphilis, and gonorrhea. A concomitant GABHS and influenza A virus pharyngotonsillitis can occur, as was evident by an increased in the ASO and anti-DNase B titers in a third of the patients who had both of these organisms isolated.
A sore throat or throat pain is a common physical symptom usually caused by acute pharyngitis, or throat inflammation, though it also occurs in a number of other situations, such as post trauma and in diphtheria. It can cause mild to extreme pain.
A sore throat is pain anywhere in the oropharynx.
A sore throat is usually from irritation or inflammation. The most common cause is acute viral pharyngitis (80%) which is a viral infection of the throat. Other causes include other infections (such as streptococcal pharyngitis), trauma, and tumors. In children streptococcal pharyngitis is the cause of 37% of sore throats.
Analgesics such as NSAIDs and paracetamol (acetaminophen) help significantly in the management of pain.Steroids are also useful in this respect. The Mayo clinic mentions some tips, including gargling with warm, salty water, resting the voice, and avoiding air pollution.
In the United States there are about 2.4 million emergency department visits with throat related complaints per year.
I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz now I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling the night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
[ piano - steel ]
I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
Could have broken my heart so complete
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'
In love with my darlin' so sweet
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz
Wish I'd known just how much it would cost
But I didn't see it comin', it's all over but the cryin'
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz
And I feel like I'm falling apart
And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow
This darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'

I met a woman long ago
her hair the black that black can go,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered no.
I met a girl across the sea,
her hair the gold that gold can be,
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Yes, but not for thee.
I met a man who lost his mind
in some lost place I had to find,
follow me the wise man said,
but he walked behind.
I walked into a hospital
where none was sick and none was well,
when at night the nurses left
I could not walk at all.
Morning came and then came noon,
dinner time a scalpel blade
lay beside my silver spoon.
Some girls wander by mistake
into the mess that scalpels make.
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to break.
One morning I woke up alone,
the hospital and the nurses gone.
Have I carved enough my Lord?
Child, you are a bone.
I ate and ate and ate,
no I did not miss a plate, well
How much do these suppers cost?
We'll take it out in hate.
I spent my hatred everyplace,
on every work on every face,
someone gave me wishes
and I wished for an embrace.
Several girls embraced me, then
I was embraced by men,
Is my passion perfect?
No, do it once again.
I was handsome I was strong,
I knew the words of every song.
Did my singing please you?
No, the words you sang were wrong.
Who is it whom I address,
who takes down what I confess?
Are you the teachers of my heart?
We teach old hearts to rest.
Oh teachers are my lessons done?
I cannot do another one.
They laughed and laughed and said, Well child,
are your lessons done?
are your lessons done?
are your lessons done?

Tennessee Waltz
Als ich tanzte -- mit dem Liebsten --
nach dem Ten- Ten- Tennessee Waltz,
kam ein girl -- das er lang nicht -- gesehn.
Und sie nannte -- ihn beim Namen,
und er küßte -- ihre Hand --
ja da war es -- um die Beiden -- geschehn.
Oh ja sie tanzten verliebt
nach dem Ten- Ten- Tennessee Waltz,
aber ich -- sah allein-- ihnen nur zu.
Oh ja sie tanzten verliebt
nach dem Ten- Ten- Tennessee Waltz,
ich sah zu --
bei dem Ten- Ten- Tennessee Waltz.
Heute abend -- bin ich einsam --
aber mein boy -- geht gemeinsam
mit ihr,
seit dem Ten- Ten- Tennessee Waltz.
