Tonsillitis

Pagi tadi aku bawa Hadif berjumpa paed kesayangan disebabkan demamnya yg on off sejak Jumaat lepas. Sejak mlm semlm sampai laa pagi tadi, suhu badan Hadif tak surut2, 37-38°C.. Risau aku.. Sepanjang mlm semlm, Hadif bertopikan sapu tgn lembab.. Elok plak dia tak tarik towel tu..

So, pagi tadi paed dah confirmkan, 'It's definitely tonsillitis!'.

Hmm, patutlah si kecik ni lately tak berapa nak lalu makan. Nennnennn aje klu kat rumah..

Ape tu tonsillitis? Aku pon tak tau nyah! Yg aku tau, sakit kat tekak. Ini antara yg aku dpt selepas bertanyakan pada pakcik google..

"The tonsils are lumps of tissue located on either side of the back of the throat. They are part of the body's immune system, designed to protect us by trapping bacteria and viruses that try to enter the body through the mouth.

But sometimes infections are too much for the tonsils to handle, and these fighters of infection become infected themselves. When that happens, it's called tonsillitis (pronounced: tahn-sih-lie-tus)."
