Detailed explanation-1: -The tonsils combat bacteria and viruses that enter your body through your mouth and nose. However, tonsils are also vulnerable to infection from the very pathogens they help keep away. A virus, such as the common cold, can trigger tonsillitis. Bacterial infections, such as strep throat, are also possible causes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Several strains of bacteria can also cause swollen tonsils. The most common type of bacteria responsible for swollen tonsils is Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus). This is the bacteria that causes strep throat. Bacteria cause around 15 to 30 percent of all cases of tonsillitis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacterial tonsillitis can sometimes lead to a build-up of pus on or around your tonsils. This is called a peritonsillar abscess or quinsy. If you have a peritonsillar abscess, you may have very bad pain in your throat, often worse on one side.
