5. Loss of Voice
You may notice that you find it difficult to speak, or that you completely lose your voice if you are suffering with swollen tonsils. This is because the large size of the tonsils will make it difficult for you to pass air in and out of the throat normally in order to create different sounds.
If you find that it is difficult to speak, then it is a good idea to rest your voice as much as possible by avoiding talking. This can be difficult in a social setting, and so it is advisable where possible to take time off of work and to avoid social situations. Especially as you are likely also suffering from fever and lethargy; take this time to unwind and relax.
