Is it possible?


Question:
Is it possible to get both bacterial tonsillitis caused by strep and viral tonsillitis at the same time?

Answers:
Sure it is. Often you get viral pharyngitis first, then it is supra-infected with streptococcus, causing tonsillitis. The viral infection makes the tissues more receptive for bacterial infection

Other Answers:
possible but unlikely. many viral infections are diagnosed as strep unless a culture is done.

possible but very very unlikley
