About Tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the palatine tonsils, which are secondary lymphoid organs within the oropharynx that serve as an immunologic barrier to inhaled or ingested pathogens.

Although it can occur at any age, it most frequently affects children and adolescents.

The condition is primarily infectious in etiology, driven most commonly by respiratory viruses or bacterial pathogens such as *Streptococcus pyogenes* (group A Streptococcus).

It clinically presents with severe sore throat, odynophagia, fever, tonsillar erythema and edema, tonsillar exudates, and tender anterior cervical lymphadenopathy.
