Most of the Unani scholars considered waram-e lawzatayn a subtype of waram halaq (Pharyngitis). It can be correlated with tonsillitis, as both the terminologies have similar features like burning sensation and pain in throat, enlarged tonsils, suppurative inflammation, etc. The more common symptoms of tonsils are red swollen tonsils, sore throat, pain during swallowing, headache, cough, fever, tiredness, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, chills, and pain in the ears. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Unani formulation in waram-e lawzatayn. Methodology: This study was conducted in State Unani Medical College, Prayagraj.

Treatment given was 20 ml Unani decoction of saboose gundum, maghze faloose khayar shambar, iklilul malik, asalsoos for 21 days orally. Result and conclusion: Unani medicine shows marked reduction in Tonsillo-Pharyngitis Assessment (TPA) score which was used as an assessment criterion to assess the effect of medicines.
