No, you can not give tonsillitis to another individual, especially, if you do not have tonsillitis. This is an inflammatory infection within a person's body. This is not a contagious infection.
Tonsillitis is an inflammation and infection of the tonsils. The tonsils become inflamed and swollen. They can begin to affect swallowing if they become very swollen. Plus, children often experience pain. However, Tonsillitis does NOT automatically mean surgery. It depends. Surgery is usually done if antibiotics don't help, if the child gets repeated Tonsillitis, or the tonsils remain chronically swollen. The surgery is fairly quick with very few complications.
Tonsillitis may make your voice a little more quiet and muffled.
