10 Tonsillitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Cough
Coughing is a useful reflex that ensures that the body’s passageways are kept clear. It also helps eject unwelcome pathogens from the body. A cough reflex can be triggered by an infection of the respiratory tract, such as tonsillitis.
Coughing is one of the most unpleasant symptoms of tonsillitis because it can cause pain that is difficult to bear, especially for children. The sore tissues of the mouth and throat can also compound the pain. Treatments are available that will help relieve the pain and the cough.
