What Is Acute Tonsillitis?
Acute tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of the throat. It is generally viral, but can be caused by bacteria such as streptococcus, and it is frequent in children and teenagers.
Signs of Acute Tonsillitis to Look for
- Bad breath, earache and headache
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Very sore throat and painful swallowing
- Swollen, tender glands in the neck
Causes and Risk Factors
Coughs, sneezes and shared cups pass on the germs, and being run down, in a crowd or in close contact raises the risk.
Prevention Tips
Wash hands frequently, do not share cups, plates or cutlery, and stay away from others while you have a fever.

Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest painkillers and fever medicine, throat sprays and, if a bacterial cause is likely, a course of antibiotics.
