There are 3 main types of tonsillitis: '''[[Acute (medical)|acute]]''', '''[[subacute]]''' and '''[[Chronic (medicine)|chronic]]'''. Acute tonsillitis can either be [[bacterial]] or [[viral]] (75%) in origin. Subacute tonsillitis (which can last between 3 weeks and 3 months) is caused by the bacterium ''[[Actinomyces]]''. Chronic tonsillitis, which can last for long periods if not treated, is almost always bacterial.
