AnswerTonsillitis is contagious at any stage. Tonsils are a filtering organ and some people (mostly children) may have to have them removed. AnswerPer every other website I have seen it says that it IS contagious. Please see below

It is contagious only up until the 3rd or 4th day of being on antibiotic, not at any stage.

Tonsillitis is caused by the strep infection and the patient will be contagious in the early stages of tonsillitis. If untreated by antibiotics they can remain contagious for up to two weeks or longer.

Tonsillitis caused by a virus is often contagious for about 7 to 10 days. Untreated bacterial tonsillitis may be contagious for about 2 weeks. However, people with bacterial tonsillitis treated with antibiotics generally become non-contagious 24 hours after starting antibiotic treatment for strep throat.

Tonsillitis is an inflammation of the tonsils. It is caused by an infection, bacterial or viral. While tonsillitis itself is not contagious, the infection is.
