Your TONSILS are two 'guards'
against infection at either side of the back of your throat. These
sentries are armed with immune cells that fight infection before it
goes deeper in your body.

Tonsillitis is inflammation of these structures and
it's quite painful as the tonsils swell and get very red in the process.
Picture of Tonsillitis: 
Tonsillitis is most common in spring and winter
and happens most often in kids younger than 10.
The vast majority of bugs that cause tonsillitis
are viruses spread in droplets from sneezes and coughing.
