Tonsillitis Specialists in Devan, Jaipur, Rajasthan

Causes of Tonsillitis

Most cases of tonsillitis are caused by common respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus, adenovirus, or influenza, which spread easily through respiratory droplets and close contact. A significant minority of cases, particularly in school-aged children, are caused by group A Streptococcus bacteria, which require antibiotic treatment to prevent complications. Close contact settings such as schools and households facilitate rapid spread among individuals.
