Tonsilitis
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Tonsilitis is a disease. The tonsils in the mouth get inflamed, and grow red. This may cause a sore throat or a fever. Sometimes the inflammation goes away on its own, but if it does not the tonsils may have to be surgically removed. This operation is called a tonsilectomy.
The disease is caused by certain viruses most of the time, but can also be cause by bacteria. It easily spreads between humans.
