Can cellulitis present in the tonsils.

I continually get inflamed tonsils and feel as if I have flu. And I mean flu not a bad cold.

Just wondering if anyone else gets this.

It would probably be termed tonsillitis. Cellulitis is a skin infection. If you are prone to tonsillitis, your immune system may be struggling, leaving you open to other infections like cellulitis, so you must always get checked and treated.
