TONSILITIS
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils, which are small lymph nodes located in the back of the throat. It is typically caused by a viral infection, but it can also be caused by bacteria.



Causes:
The most common causes are:
Viral infections, such as the common cold or flu

People who are more likely to develop tonsillitis include:

There are several factors that can increase the risk of developing tonsillitis, including:

Dry air, can irritate the tonsils and make them more susceptible to infection
Smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, can irritate the tonsils and increase the risk of infection.
