10 Tonsillitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #10: Bad Breath
Bad breath, known medically as halitosis, is caused by the buildup of bacteria in the mouth. For example, the proliferation of bacteria in the tonsils can generate a bad odor.
Cleaning and brushing provide only a temporary respite since the odor-causing bacteria is still there. Fortunately, the odor disappears once the infection has cleared up.
