Kinda, tonsilitis is an bacterial infection. Tonsilitis like many other respiratory infections will occur alongside a viral infection like the flu or common cold.

The bacterial infection may be contagous, but it is unlikely a infant will be able to develop the infection since their tonsils are not mature enough.

That being said they can catch the flu or cold from you, which they already have been exposed to even before you showed symptoms.
