About Acute Tonsillitis
Acute tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils at the back of the throat. Viruses cause most cases, bacteria such as streptococcus some, and it is frequent in children and teenagers.
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.
How Acute Tonsillitis Feels
- Swollen, tender glands in the neck
- Bad breath, earache and headache
- Fever and chills
- Very sore throat and painful swallowing
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
How to Lower Your Risk of Acute Tonsillitis
Wash hands commonly, do not share cups, plates or cutlery, and stay away from others while you have a fever.
