Understanding acute tonsillitis

What can cause acute tonsillitis
Viruses or bacteria passed on through coughs, sneezes and shared cups. Tiredness, crowded places and close contact raise the risk of catching it.
How acute tonsillitis feels
- Very sore throat and painful swallowing
- Bad breath, earache and headache
- Swollen, tender glands in the neck
- Red, swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches
- Fever and chills
