tonsillitis
This term is a clinical diagnosis used in both professional medical settings and everyday conversation. It describes a specific pathological state of inflammation rather than a general symptom like a sore throat, though it is the primary cause of such symptoms in many patients.
As a medical condition denoting a specific state of inflammation, the word is uncountable. It does not have a plural form because it refers to the condition itself rather than individual instances of the disease.
