Tonsillitis caused by a virus is often contagious for about 7 to 10 days. Untreated bacterial tonsillitis may be contagious for about 2 weeks. However, people with bacterial tonsillitis treated with antibiotics generally become non-contagious 24 hours after starting antibiotic treatment for strep throat.
