Recurring infection of the tonsils leads to frequent episodes of tonsillitis, which is a common pediatric disorder found world over. Frequent infections leads to certain changes in the lymphoid tissues of the tonsils making them enlarged in size. They may get enlarged to an extent that they may touch each other. They are called 'kissing tonsils'! Recurring septic tonsillitis may lead to some scarring on the tonsils making them less capable to fight against the future infection. The tonsils are the immune system's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses that enter your mouth. This function may make the tonsils particularly vulnerable to infection and inflammation. However, the tonsil's immune system function declines after puberty — a factor that may account for the rare cases of tonsillitis in adults.
