Tonsillitis: I am not sure what you are saying/asking. Tonsil infections are fairly common. Can come from postnasal drainage or part of the flu. Tonsils can lose their ability to defend against infection and require a therapy such as Hydro Pulse Throat Irrigation to be cleared. please see www.hydromedonline.com and www.grossaninstitute.com
