Tonsillitis Care at Nadora Urgent Care in Greeley

A sore throat that won’t go away could be more than just a common cold—it might be tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, often caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and it can lead to significant discomfort, especially in children and teens. At Nadora Urgent Care in Greeley, our experienced providers are here to evaluate your symptoms, diagnose the cause, and offer effective treatment so you or your child can recover quickly.

Common symptoms of tonsillitis include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, red or swollen tonsils, white patches on the tonsils, swollen lymph nodes, fever, and bad breath. In children, tonsillitis can also cause irritability, poor appetite, or trouble sleeping. Since these symptoms often overlap with other illnesses like strep throat or viral infections, it’s important to get a proper medical evaluation to determine the right treatment.

At Nadora Urgent Care, we begin with a physical exam and may perform a rapid strep test or throat culture to determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral. If it’s caused by bacteria such as group A Streptococcus, we’ll prescribe antibiotics to help clear the infection and prevent complications. If the tonsillitis is viral, supportive care is typically recommended to ease discomfort while the body fights off the illness.
