Jakarta (ANTARA) – A specialist in ear, nose, throat, head and neck surgery, graduated from the University of Indonesia (UI), Dr. Abdillah Hasbi Assadyk, Sp.THTBKL, MPH dismissed the notion that micin or flavorings can worsen tonsillitis.
According to him, inflammation of the tonsils or tonsillitis can only occur if a person or patient is exposed to a virus or germ, resulting in inflammation in the body.
“Snacks, seasonings such as micin are inanimate objects. They will not cause infection, infection can only occur because of the presence of germs,” said doctor Hasbi in the webinar he attended, Monday.

If, for example, inflammation of the tonsils occurs after eating or drinking something, it is very likely that the processing of the food or drink was unhygienic.
The condition of tonsillitis is also supported by the condition if a person is not in top condition or has a weak immune system.
When these two conditions meet, namely viruses or germs manage to enter the body through food or drink as an intermediary and the body’s condition is not optimal, tonsillitis can occur easily.
“So, even though the food is brought from home, if the person making it doesn’t wash their hands, has a cold, then handles it here and there, including holding the food, it’s likely that their tonsils will become inflamed. So it’s not from the spices,” said the doctor who practices at the Medistra Hospital in Jakarta.

According to him, a clean and healthy lifestyle is one of the keys to keeping the tonsils from becoming inflamed.
“Avoid infection if you know someone is sick. Don’t get close if someone is sick. Wear a mask and wash your hands often. The principle is to avoid infection,” advised Doctor Hasbi.
If you experience inflammation of the tonsils, the patient should immediately consult with medical personnel to get the best treatment, either through drug therapy or surgical treatment if necessary.
