Another major function of the tonsils is to supply the local mucosal immune system of the upper respiratory tract with dimeric IgA-producing B cells. Secretory IgA has particular hydrophilic properties and is capable of preventing adsorption and penetration of bacteria and virus into upper respiratory tract mucosa .Tonsillitis of viral origin is usually treated with supportive care. Bacterial tonsillitis is most common caused by streptococcus pyogen . 

Tonsillitis causes local immunological damages which lead to frequent development of the disease, hence affecting the child’s growth and development . The most widely used medication for tonsillitis are a group of antibiotics such as Penicillin, amoxicillin, erythromycin etc and surgery known as tonsillectomy, which are having adverse effect such as eruption of skin, nephrotoxicity, diarrhea, life threatening conditions like shock , post-operative bleeding, dehydration, uvular edema and damage or trauma to the adjacent anatomical tissue  . Hence there is a need for alternative treatment modality for the treatment of tonsillitis.
