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

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