Inflamed tonsils. Tonsillitis is most often caused by common viruses, but bacterial infections can also be the cause. The most common bacterium causing tonsillitis is Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus), the bacterium that causes strep throat.
Cryptic tonsils are common, painless, a common cause of bad breath, and a source of tonsilliths/tonsilloliths or tonsil stones. Below is a picture of a tonsils with tonsilliths. Exudates are whitish material that appear on tonsils which are inflammed. The cause can be viral or bacterial. Sometimes the exudates are so typical of one or the other that a fairly accurate diagnosis can be made just by looking at the throat. For example, Infectious Mononucleosis is characterized by enlarged tonsils (sometimes so enlarged that they meet in the middle, called kissing tonsils) and a membraneous-looking exudate, as in the picture below.
