Quincy (also spelt “quinsy” or quinsey”) is a complication oftonsillitis. It is a collection of pus that develops between the back of one of your tonsils and the wall of your throat. This is known as anabscess and results near the tonsils. An abscess can develop when an infection spreads from a swollen tonsil to the surrounding area. The medical name for quincy is peritonsillar abscess and can be fatal during the absence of antibiotic treatment.
