Tonsillitis occurs when the tonsils are overwhelmed by bacteria. If it keeps occurring, the patient probably has chronic tonsillitis and needs their tonsils removed.
Tonsillitis is typically caused by bacteria or viruses and is not a sexually transmitted infection. However, kissing or intimate contact with someone who has tonsillitis can potentially spread the infection.
No, if you have no tonsils then you cannot have inflamed tonsils.
No. As the name indicates, it is an infection or inflammation of the tonsils. However, there can be genetic predispositions to tonsillitis, with it running more in some families than in others.
Tonsillitis has likely been recognized for centuries, with descriptions of the condition dating back to ancient times. However, the formal understanding and classification of tonsillitis as a specific medical condition likely evolved over time as medical knowledge advanced.

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.
whether you keep you're tonsils or not is entirely up to you. i still have my tonsils, and it's been three years since I've been sick and never had tonsillitis :)
Are you referring to oral sex? You can contract tonsillitis only from someone who has tonsillitis or is carrying a virus or bacteria that causes tonsillitis. These are spread through breathing, coughing, sneezing, kissing... you get the idea. But you can't get it from her vagina and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with her cycle.
The concept of tonsillitis dates back to ancient times, but it was formally recognized as a medical condition in the early 19th century. The term "tonsillitis" itself was first used in medical literature in the early 20th century.
Tonsillitis may make your voice a little more quiet and muffled.
