Overview
There are 3 main types of tonsillitis: acute, subacute and chronic.
Classification
Tonsillitis can be classified into acute, chronic, and recurrent forms.[1]
Acute Tonsillitis
- Primarily caused by bacterial or viral infection.[1]
- Presents with tonsillar erythema, edema, odynophagia, dysphonia, fever, and headache.[2]
- Tonsillectomy is not usually indicated to treat acute tonsillitis; viral tonsillitis is self-limited and bacterial tonsillitis will resolve with antimicrobial therapy.[3]
Chronic Tonsillitis
