Signs of a Tonsil Infection
2. Sore Throat
One of the most telling of all symptoms of a tonsil infection is a sore throat. The pain caused by the condition tends to be worse than other sore throats, and it can be very difficult for young children to bear it, while some adults will also find the pain very uncomfortable indeed.
The degree of pain in the throat also makes it difficult for the patient to eat because swallowing becomes hard for them. It might be necessary to give the patient liquid foods like soup, and it is important to ensure they continue to get the nutrition that they need.
