In most cases, this condition is considered a respiratory tract infection caused by exposure to cold; it may also result from low immune function leading to bacterial or viral infection and subsequent tonsillitis. Patients are advised to drink plenty of water, ensure adequate rest, maintain warmth, and avoid further cold exposure that could exacerbate symptoms. If necessary, they should seek medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital.
