how do you catch tonsilites?

Answer 1

Tonsillitis

Open your mouth wide in front of a mirror. Do you see your tonsils? They're located on each side of your throat, just behind and above your tongue.

Years ago, many young children had their tonsils removed. In fact, surgery was once the standard treatment for recurrent tonsillitis — inflammation of the tonsils caused by a viral or bacterial infection.

Today, tonsils are recognized for their role in filtering harmful bacteria and viruses that could cause more serious infections. When tonsillitis strikes, the first line of treatment is typically self-care or antibiotics. Surgery is seldom necessary, unless tonsillitis recurs often or it interferes with breathing or swallowing.

Sign and Symptoms
Tonsillitis is characterized by red, swollen tonsils. You may also notice white patches on the tonsils. Other signs and symptoms of tonsillitis include:

Severe sore throat
Difficult or painful swallowing
Headache
Fever and chills
Enlarged, tender glands (lymph nodes) in the jaw and neck
Loss of voice

Causes
When bacteria and viruses enter your body through your nose or mouth, your tonsils act as a filter — engulfing the offending organisms in white blood cells. This may cause a low-grade infection in your tonsils, which stimulates your immune system to form antibodies against future infections. But sometimes the tonsils are overwhelmed by a bacterial or viral infection. The result is tonsillitis.

Various viruses and bacteria can cause tonsillitis, including the virus that causes mononucleosis (the Epstein-Barr virus) and the bacterium that causes strep throat (Streptococcus pyogenes).

Answer 2

Do you mean tonsillitis? If you do, i reckon you get it by snogging someone with it, or atleast thats my summary!

or
Tonsillitis happens when germs get caught down in the crypts of the tonsils. The tonsils are kind of like a sponge and they filter things that come in and create antibodies. If particals get trapped down in there, they can cause an infection. It's hard for antibotics to get down into the crypts, so if tonsils get terminally infected, they really need to come out!

Tonsillitis can be caused by mononucleosis, commonly known as "mono." So if a child has tonsillitis, it is very important to see a physician for evaluation and treatment.
Hope that helps?!
