Understanding acute tonsillitis
The tonsils at the back of the throat become infected in acute tonsillitis, normally through a virus and sometimes through streptococcus, with children and teenagers most affected.
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.
