How fast can tonsillitis symptoms appear and can it lead to a sinus infection?I was on vacation out of state and came down with tonsillitis. I wasn't aware I was around anyone with it before I left. If I got it from someone on the plane could I become symptomatic in about 24 hours or less? Now I have a sinus infection. Is it just a coincidence or does one sometimes lead to the other?

It's likely you had/have a sinus infection first and the sinus drainage irritated your throat and tonsils. Try gargling with a little warm salt water-- about 1/2 measuring teaspoon to one cup of water and see if that helps. Then use nasal irrigation to get rid of the sinus infection. Tonsilitis is not contagious-- it just means inflamed tonsils. Nurse Kindheart.
