If the course is insufficient, it may relapse. It may also lead to diseases such as glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever. The other is an upper respiratory infection. The tonsils are the gateway of the respiratory tract. Whenever an upper respiratory infection occurs, they are the first to be affected, showing redness and swelling.
