Question: How fast can tonsillitis symptoms appear and can it lead to a sinus infection!?
I was on vacation out of state and came down with tonsillitis!. I wasn't aware I was around anyone with it before I left!. If I got it from someone on the plane could I become symptomatic in about 24 hours or less!? Now I have a sinus infection!. Is it just a coincidence or does one sometimes lead to the other!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It's likely you had/have a sinus infection first and the sinus drainage irritated your throat and tonsils!. Try gargling with a little warm salt water-- about 1/2 measuring teaspoon to one cup of water and see if that helps!. Then use nasal irrigation to get rid of the sinus infection!. Tonsilitis is not contagious-- it just means inflamed tonsils!. Nurse Kindheart!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
