Causes of Tonsillitis!!! Tonsils are your first line of defense against illness and they produce white blood cells to help your body fight infection. The tonsils combat bacteria and viruses that enter your body through the mouth, but are vulnerable to infection from these invaders themselves. Tonsillitis can be caused by a virus, such as the common cold, or by a bacterial infection, such as strep throat. Children come into close contact with others at school and play, exposing them to a variety of viruses and bacteria. This makes them particularly vulnerable to the germs that cause tonsillitis. Symptoms of Tonsillitis There are many symptoms of tonsillitis, but you are unlikely to have them all. The most common include: a very sore throat difficulty swallowing or painful swallowing a scratchy-sounding voice bad breath fever chills earaches stomach aches headaches a stiff neck jaw and neck tenderness (due to swollen lymph nodes) tonsils that appear red and swollen tonsils that have white or yellow spots
