Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
Regarding your query for septic tonsillitis, is it contagious ? My answer is yes, it is contagious and infection may spread to others by direct contacts like deep kissing and uncleaned used utensils like glass and spoons. Infection by this direct contact may reach to others but other will develop clinical disease or not it will depends resistance of the individuals.
Regards.
