Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils, which are two small glands located at the back of the throat. It is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms typically include a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, swollen tonsils, fever, and sometimes white or yellow patches on the tonsils. Tonsillitis can be contagious and spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes, releasing saliva or mucus. Treatment often involves rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and pain relievers. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed if the cause is bacterial.
