What Is Tonsilitis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Complications
There is not usually anything to worry about with tonsillitis as, the vast majority of the time, the patient will make a full and fast recovery. It will develop into something worse in a small number of cases, however, so it should be treated as soon as the condition is diagnosed.
Depending on the severity of the condition, the patient might experience difficulty breathing and this should be treated as urgent. The underlying cause might also go on to develop into serious conditions like rheumatic fever. If you do suspect that tonsillitis is causing some other serious conditions, then you should speak with a doctor.
