    Symptoms of tonsillitis includes a severe sore throat,crouch coughing,headache,fever and chills.If you look into the mirror at the inside of your throat with your mouth open and press your tongue with the handle of a spoon,you can see your tonsills which will be red,swollen and may have white spots ( i.e.pus) on them.There may be enlarged and tender lymph nodes under the jaws and you may also experience pain right up to your ears.
