The term "pathophysiology" refers to the processes which occur when an illness develops. Therefore, in tonsillitis, the tonsils become overloaded with an infection of a viral or bacterial nature. This causes inflammation of the area. In turn, the redness and swelling may cause a sore throat, high temperature and fever.
