Quinsey is actually very serious. You can die from it if not caught in time. it cn block the airways and you can choke. It is like a big blister normally forms on the tonsils. I have had it three times and i have now since had my tonsils removed and have had no more trouble withit. I would say go see a doc if you have it and ask about getting your tonsils removed. It is a pain when you get them removed when your older but it is defo worth going through. Good luck

Yep it is and quite a nasty one. Its basically a throat infection where you get huge and very painful blisters in the throat that can swell and prevent you eating, drinking or have difficulty breathing. It needs fast medical attention xx
