An inflammation of the tonsils is always the consequence of a mental conflict with the following topict:
” I’m craving for something!” or ”I want to get rid of something!”
When the situation (the conflict) is over, the child gets tonsillitis.

Case study 1:

The mother of a 12 year old girl has a new partner, who comes to stay with them for a week every now and then. The girl cannot stand him. She would throw him out if she could. She counts the days to his departure.
As soon as he has left, she reacts with an inflammation of her tonsils. After about one week it is over.

Case study 2:

At his playmate’s house a five year old boy has seen a car, that he wants to have badly. Since this moment he seizes every opportunity to tell his mother and other family members about it. For the moment the parents have decided not to buy the car, as he already has more than enough toys. Two weeks later his grandmother went shopping with the boy. He saw the longed-for car and his grandmother bought it. The next day the boy got a tonsillitis

Why does the inflammation take place after the actual conflict?

During the active conflict a kind of mucus layer covers the tonsils.
What for?
The brain does not care if the situation is about food or for example a toy car. The body acts as if the toy car is something that has to be digested and has to be transported to the stomach as quickly as possible. By producing mucus the transportation and consequently digestion is improved.
After the child has got the car, the mucus is not needed any more and has to be dissolved. This is done by aids of bacteria and increased temperature – all symptoms of tonsillitis.

Why is it mostly infants who suffer from tonsillitis?

Children do not understand why something is the way it is. Children want something! End of story! Growing up they understands more and more that sometimes one has to wait or that some things are just not possible at the moment.
Of course there are grown ups, who still react childlike in this point, but they are rare. If they still have their tonsils in place they also react with tonsillitis.

What can you do?

According to my opinion, only the following things are advisable:
The conflict is solved. Attend the cure.
If the situation reoccurs, talk to the child and find a solution together.
Guiding principles are: „I’m happy with what I have.“, „I just cannot have everything“

Reflect your own behavior and change it if necessary. Parents are role models for children and sometimes they are just copied.
