Complications Of Tonsillitis

Obstructive sleep apnea may develop as a result of chronic tonsillitis due to the swelling of the airways that prevent proper breathing. Tonsillar cellulitis occurs when a tonsillitis infection spreads to other areas of the body. A peritonsillar abscess occurs when there is a buildup of pus located behind the tonsils, which may require surgery or drainage. It is important to take a full round of antibiotics even if symptoms begin to reside early to make sure the entire infection is gone.
