5. Can I get tonsillitis from contaminated objects?
Person-to-person contact is not the only method of spreading tonsillitis. People who handle contaminated objects such as doorknobs are at risk of contracting the infection, too. Once a person touches a contaminated object and then touches their face or another body part, the infection can spread. It is best to disinfect objects that an infected person has handled.
