Quinsy is an uncommon side effect of tonsillitis. It occurs when an abscess (infected area) forms between the wall of your throat and a tonsil.
Symptoms of quinsy may include:

- Voice changes
- Pain when opening the mouth
To prevent further infection your GP may refer you to a specialist consultant to treat your quinsy.
