Hello, tonsillitis, the most common is bacterial infection, but most of them will be complicated with bacterial infection on the basis of respiratory virus infection, thus causing tonsillitis and so on. It is very rare for the virus to infect tonsils alone. It is generally difficult to distinguish what pathogen infection is from the symptoms, unless there is obvious suppuration of tonsil, in which case it must be bacterial infection. But in the early days, viruses and bacteria can only be infected at the same time if they are red, swollen and painful. Generally, only blood routine can determine whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection, and the symptoms cannot be distinguished.

Guiding opinions:

If accompanied by symptoms such as cold, tonsillitis is caused by bacterial tonsillitis caused by viral cold. If it is not a simple tonsillitis caused by a cold, it is considered to be a bacterial infection caused by excessive internal heat, and it is rarely a simple virus infection. However, I suggest that when you have tonsillitis, you should have it examined by a local doctor and then follow the doctor's treatment instructions.

Drinking more water, eating less spicy food, increasing physical exercise properly and avoiding staying up late for a long time can reduce the chance of respiratory infection.
