A member asked:
I have a small history of tonsilitis. i have had the flu shot and within 12 hours my tonsils have become inflamed and painful. can the two be linked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: You probably developed tonsillitis coincidental to your flu shot. If you have fever or enlarged tonsils, you might have strep throat, so get to a doctor immediately.
