Re: Does tonsillitis = aphthous stomatitis?

[Guest guest]

Aphthous Stomatitis are canker sores. Not tonsillitis. White marks on back

of throat are tonsillitis. NOT THE SAME. Related in the fact that some

children with will get both tonsillitis and the cankers... while

others do not!

As for " late " ... many of the children present with periodic fevers and at

different times during their disorder will develop new symptoms... possibly

lose other symptoms or have all of them. Varies.

My son had NO cankers until 2 as well as no tonsil involvement until 18

months yet the extreme high fevers started at 6 months old and he cycled

almost exactly every 21 days UNTIL we tried Prednisone.

Some children get the cankers and they remain for weeks.

While others may get them immediately prior or at onset of the fever and

they disappear with the fever.

varies greatly.

Hi,

Tonsillitis with is usually at onset of fevers. It also disappears as

soon as the fevers go. It is thought NOT to be of viral origin... as there

is no infectious process going on... The belief is there IS and inflammatory

process going on.... causing the tonsils to enlarge.

Why the pus? No one knows. Same with the cankers.. many have been

cultured... and nothing grows.

So... I think the answer to your question is it is tonsillitis... but not

viral or bacterial... it is actually called pharyngitis when documented for

.... basically medical lingo...

Help??? a little??
