ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Peetha Saireyaka tablet in the management of chronic tonsillitis. Materials and Methods: The subject approached Kaumarabhritya/Balroga OPD of Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan with complaints of swelling in the throat region associated with pain, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing and foul smell from the mouth which is occurring recurrently for the past two years and aggravated in the last ten days. The child was systemically reviewed and Peetha Saireyaka tablet (500mg) was advised to administer once daily, morning time for a period of two months. Results: The child with chronic tonsillitis showed marked improvement as depicted in the photographs. Discussion: The shothahara activity of the drug may help in reducing the shotha of the tonsils, by which Ragatwa appearing as a result of inflammatory process also reduces. The plant is anti–inflammatory and used in ulcers. It also may help in Galoparodha, as the size of tonsils reduces and gives space for food to pass through. This may reduce the pain produced by obstruction. Moreover, the drug has Shoolahara Karma which may help in reducing Galoparodha. Being Deepaka, the drug may help in Agni Deepthi, by which Daurgandhya produced by Ama reduces. The drug also has Pitta Hara property by its Rasa Panchaka, which may help in reducing Mukha Daurgandhya. Conclusion: Peetha Saireyaka tablet can be considered as an effective and safe medicine for chronic tonsillitis in children. Keywords: Ayurveda, chronic tonsillitis, tundikeri, peetha saireyaka
