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.
Common triggers
Viruses or bacteria passed on through coughs, sneezes and shared cups. Tiredness, crowded places and close contact raise the risk of catching it.
Prevention tips
Wash hands frequently, do not share cups, plates or cutlery, and stay away from others while you have a fever.
