However, if you were to pass on the virus or bacterial infection to someone else they probably won’t develop tonsillitis.
The person who catches it may just develop a sore throat or cold, but it is possible for them to develop tonsillitis.
The NHS recommends staying away from other people when you have tonsillitis to stop these infections from spreading, especially with the coronavirus pandemic ongoing.
This means staying at home as much as possible, so you may need to stay off work or keep your child at home.
