Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the lympathic tissue of the pharnyx, especially the palatine or faucial tonsils. It can be caused by Group A Beta-Hemolytic streptoccoci, hemophilia influenza type B, or mycoplasma, as well as fungi and parasitic infections. The onset of tonsillitis is sudden, usually accompanied by chills. Headache, back ache, and aches in the arms and/or legs may be present, as well as pain, sometimes severe, in the tonsils, especially when swallowing. Often, the tonsils appear swollen and bright red with yellow pockets of pus. Tonsillitis may occur sporadically or in epidemic form. Acute tonsillitis is generally self-limited, but it may be accompanied by sinusitis, otitis media, mastoiditis, or peritonsillar abscess.
