Inflammation of the tonsils may cause fever, especially in acute tonsillitis.
Inflammation of tonsils generally refers to tonsillitis, an inflammatory disease caused by bacterial and viral infections of the lymphatic tissues of the pharynx, with the main symptoms of dry, burning throat, sore throat, dry cough, which may also be accompanied by fever, peripheral malaise, headache and other systemic symptoms.
Fever is a systemic defense response of the body to disease-causing factors, and the fever caused by tonsillitis is due to bacteria and viruses entering the body and immune cells interacting with the endogenous pyrogen, stimulating the body’s temperature-regulating center and sustained abnormal response resulting in an increase in body temperature.
If the symptoms of tonsillitis are serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for regular treatment.
