Tonsillitis Complications:
Complications usually happen only if bacteria caused your infection. They include:
-A collection of pus around your tonsil (peritonsillar abscess)
-Middle ear infection
-Breathing problems or breathing that stops and starts while you sleep (obstructive sleep apnea)
-Tonsillar cellulitis, or infection that spreads and deeply penetrates nearby tissues
