Tonsil inflammation is not contagious

Tonsillitis refers to tonsillitis. Whether it is infectious depends on the type of disease.

Tonsillitis is caused by infection of tonsils by bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms or inflammation of adjacent tissues. It is an infectious disease. If the patient belongs to chronic tonsillitis, it generally does not cause infection. However, if it is acute tonsillitis, it may cause infection due to active replication of pathogenic microorganisms.
