Do diet pills cause infections such as abscess or puss in the tonsils?i used lipo6 a strong diet pills for 3 days and i got tonsillitis after

No: It is common for patients to ascribe symptoms which occur after an event to that event simply because they are temporally related. That does not make them causally related, although sometimes that may occur, but not in this case.
