Most patients suffering from tonsillitis are caused by viruses. Bacteria causes only 15 – 30% of cases. Tonsillitis is primarily contagious if the cause is bacterial and may be contagious if the cause is viral.

The main symptom of tonsillitis is a moderate to severe sore throat lasting longer than 48 hours and involves inflammation of the tonsils.
