Understanding 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.
Why acute tonsillitis happens
Viruses or bacteria passed on through coughs, sneezes and shared cups. Tiredness, crowded places and close contact raise the risk of catching it.

Wash your hands and ask us early if a fever lasts more than a day.
