10 Tonsillitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Fatigue
Fighting off infections is hard work for the body. The body’s defense systems require a lot of energy and other resources to help them in their fight. So, during illness, the body’s resources are prioritized to the immune system. The rest of the body consequently receives less than usual, which causes fatigue.
Fatigue can leave people feeling tired regardless of how much sleep they’ve had. People who have an infection should try to take it easy and rest so the body can heal. With proper rest, tonsillitis should hopefully pass in a few days.
