What Is Acute Tonsillitis?
Acute tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of the throat. It is normally viral, but can be caused by bacteria such as streptococcus, and it is frequent in children and teenagers.

- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Fever and chills

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.
