Chronic tonsillitis is a persistent inflammatory disease of the palatine tonsils characterized by recurrent infections and structural alterations of lymphoid tissue. The condition significantly affects quality of life and may lead to systemic complications. This study aims to determine the clinical and morphological features of chronic tonsillitis and to evaluate approaches for improving treatment effectiveness. Clinical examination, histological analysis, and assessment of therapeutic outcomes were performed. The findings revealed structural disorganization of lymphoid follicles, epithelial hyperplasia, fibrosis, and inflammatory infiltration in chronic cases. A comprehensive treatment strategy combining antimicrobial therapy, immunomodulation, and, when indicated, surgical intervention demonstrated improved clinical outcomes. Understanding the morphological basis of chronic tonsillitis contributes to optimized management and prevention of complications.
