Tonsillitis
Is the inflammation of the tonsils that can be acute, sub-acute, and chronic due to causative factors affecting it.
![Page 3: Tonsillitis 111218035708 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/577cca0e1a28aba711a54052/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Acute tonsillitis can either be bacterial or viral in origin. Subacute tonsillitis is caused by the bacterium Actinomyces. Chronic tonsillitis, which can last for long periods if not treated, is mostly caused by bacterial infection.

Tonsils are made –up of adenoids tissue that secretes lymphocytes that help in fighting against systemic infection of the body.
