Cold and flu season is here, which means tonsillitis is making the rounds.

If you or someone you know has had a sore throat lately, this common infection may be the cause. Tonsillitis happens when the tonsils (the glands at the back of your throat that help fight infection) become inflamed by bacteria or viruses. Symptoms can include a painful throat, trouble swallowing, headaches, fatigue, chills, and fever. Stay warm and take care of your immune system!

Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils, the large, fleshy glands located at the back of your throat, become inflamed due to infection.

For most people, a blister or cut is no big deal. You clean it, cover it, and it heals. But if you have diabetes or peripheral neuropathy, your body may not heal as well, especially in your feet. What looks like a small sore can turn into a serious problem if it’s not treated quickly.

Knee pain can stem from many different causes, but it’s often linked to arthritis—an inflammation of the joint. This inflammation can affect any of the knee’s three main components: the inner (medial) side, outer (lateral) side, or the kneecap (patella).
