In general there are two masses of lymphatic tissues (tonsils) presents at the back of the throat and infection of these tissues is called tonsillitis.
Tonsillitis most commonly affects children between the ages of 3 and 7. As the child grows and the tonsils shrink, infections become less common.
Tonsillitis is contagious. It may spread mainly by droplets from kissing and coughing.
