Does chronic tonsillitis cause headaches?
Chronic tonsillitis generally does not cause headaches, as the main cause of chronic tonsillitis is repeated inflammation of the tonsils. The primary symptoms are sore throat and a sensation of a foreign body in the throat. Some people may also experience snoring and breathing through the mouth while sleeping, but overall, the main manifestations of this disease are in the throat area, so the clinical symptoms are primarily those related to the throat. Generally, it does not lead to headaches. If there is a cold, sinusitis, or rhinitis accompanying it, headaches may occur. However, the specific causes of the condition should be assessed by visiting an otolaryngology department to determine and apply the correct treatment.
