Common symptoms of tonsillitis include:

Swollen, red tonsils,
Sore throat or pain on swallowing,
Fever (which can be very high in young children) or chills,
Spots of pus come from cracks (crypts) in the surface of the tonsils,
Material from the crypts forms a whitish membrane or skin over the surface of the tonsils, and
Lymph nodes (glands) in the neck are swollen and tender to the touch.
Other symptoms may include headache, feeling generally unwell (malaise), constipation, earache, furry tongue and foul-smelling breath, or difficulty opening mouth or thickened speech.

Tonsillitis often develops alongside a throat infection (pharyngitis).
