Answer:

Tonsillitis is inflammation of tonsils. It is caused by viral infection and very rarely by bacterial infection.

It is a very serious problem in case of children, adults and teenagers. The continuous coughing can lead to swelling in the throat which in case affects the passage of airways.

This hindered air passage can cause breathing problems. The inflammation can also affect the passage of air and affects breathing.
