one swollen tonsil sore throat

This afternoon the pain got worse, so I checked my throat again. While my left tonsil is still quite swollen, it's not super red, it doesn't have any white patches, it's just swollen and painful. I'm not sure if it is strep, related to my allergies, or what, but just looking for some ideas on what it could be. My temperature is 98.8, and other than the sore throat I feel fine.

If one tonsil is swollen and is painful, it could most probably be due to tonsillitis. Throat pain, difficulty swallowing, fever, scratchiness in the throat, post nasal drip, malaise and loss of appetite are the other symptoms of tonsillitis. It can be caused by bacteria like streptococcus or it could be a viral infection. Bacterial infections need antibiotics. Sinusitis can cause a throat infection.

In addition to the swollen left tonsil, this was several weeks before the swollen tonsil, I have been having weird tingly feeling on my right mustache and sometimes burning feeling around my lips, at one point I had a re spot develop on the corner of my left side of my mouth while she first say her cold sore that week. We are both waiting for our results from PP maybe the end of this week.

However, sometimes they can grow into larger formations that can cause your tonsils to swell, which would be a reason for one tonsil to be larger than the other one, and they often have an unpleasant odor.

Okay so i have had this tonsil problem for a couple months now. One of them is at least twice the size of the other one and they are both inflamed, both types of antibiotics (one stronger then the other) did not work. my test came back negative for mono and strep. The only pain i recieved was at the beginning for 3 days and then the pain went away. But it hurt alot i could not talk or eat and i had huge body aches also. It happened the first night of my menstral cycle that month.

Monday my ear started hurting and one side of my throat. Then two days ago I noticed only one swollen tonsil which scared me. I went to the doctor and she acted like it was not a big deal. But it really hasn't went down much and my throat doesn't hurt so much anymore. Like you, I'm under EXTREME stress from my mother being sick, loss of job, abusive relationship situation. I can't leave it, because I have no job as of yet.

Hi you answered the question I had about my tonsil. You talked about the swelling maybe going down since I've posted my problem and I wanted to give an update and see if your opinion was still the same. My runny nose, sore throat, and whatever else kind of sickness I had before is gone. There is no pain in my throat and my tonsil isn't so swollen that I can't swallow normally. It doesn't cause me any discomfort anymore and it doesn't look as if there's anything on it.

The problem is that when I search for symptoms everywhere says that sore throat goes along with that symptom. I do not have a sore throat. It has gotten bad enough now that my throat feels closed off and when you look inside my mouth you can clearly see there is not much space between tonsils and my uvula is rubbing one of them.THe tonsils appear to be slighty red but other than that they do not appear to have spots or white anything on them.

for the last two days ive noticed the back of my tongue by my left tonsil is swollen i have an appointment at the doctors but thats 3 days away yet im 39 and a smoker

I had my tonsils out when I was ten....now, I am eighty, and I just noticed the same thing...a pencil-eraser diameter lump, (not very tall.)....dark red, or purple, where my right tonsil used to be. My GP didn't seem too concerned, my throat isn't sore, and no swollen glands. He sent me to an ENT...didn't go yet. You have made me feel better.

s a lot of days for a sore throat. Sore throats can be viral or bacterial. A viral sore throat is such that the main thing you can do for it is home care. This includes gargling with salt water, drinking warm tea, extra fluids in general, extra rest and ibuprofen or Tylenol. But viral sore throats usually resolve on their own within 7 days, fyi. Bacterial sore throats require a trip to the doctor.

I've had a swollen tonsil for almost 2 weeks now, and had 2 shots of rocephin , and am still taking azithromycin....typically when i get a sore throat , a shot starts working over night usually.....now both of my tonsils are inflamed....it's like the antibiotics aren't budging the tonsil...my throat isn't sore,...i've had a low grade fever once or twice....i'm lost.....

I think, my RIGHT tonsil (green arrow) is swollen and I had long term sore throat before but now only happened in the morning(when i woke up) and there are some yellowish color in my throat and long swollen shape (blue arrow)... My tongue has a red dots on it, looks like strawberry and i have a bone ache, joint shooting, and tiredness. I have no loss weight, but actually gain weight. Could this be an infection or another problem?

I think I feel my right tonsil swollen and it seems to come and go, but for the most part it is swollen. No sore throat. I have had blood test done and methacoline challenge test done. Blood work shows allergies and methacoline challenge test shows it could be vocal cord dysfunction. I still have to see a allergist and speech therapist. My question is does my swollen tonsil have anything to do with this? I also had chest x-ray done and shows thoracic spine changes.

Saw a doctor Saturday, no bacteria in the throat at all and she said it was a viral thing and to take over the counter meds for swelling and prescribed no antibiotics. Going on week three, still no sore throat or other symptoms.

Sunday... I gave a guy I'd been talking to oral and it got pretty rough. It was only my second time doing so and I was not used to his size. Afterwards, I had slight difficulty swallowing, but I figured I just needed a glass of water and just ignored it since there was absolutely no pain... I did feel a little nauseous but it didn't seem serious.

I woke up this am with a sore throat. Felt like something in back of my throat. The roof of my mouth is white, and the uvula is swollen and almost touching the back of my tongue. I feel like I should keep swallowing. Never happened before. No new foods, meds, etc.

I've had a sore throat for a few days, accompanied by one swollen tonsil on my right side. It hurts to swallow. I've had no fever and no sickness, just pain on the right side of my throat. When I looked in the mirror this morning, I noticed there is a large, single purple spot near my swollen tonsil. This is where the sore-throat pain is coming from. It looks raw. It has a few white flecks on the spot itself, but no white spots anywhere else on the tongue or throat or anything.

He discovered i also have a swollen tonsil. The swollen tonsil could be from post nasal drip, and the right tonsil is swollen because i sleep on my right side and so it is subject to the nasal drip. Still, he insisted i get an MRI because a swollen tonsil could indicate other problems - like a tumor for one. i had the MRI last night and hope to get results in several days.

After 10 more days for additional 2 days I felt uncomfortable . No fever. And again just sore throat . After 5-6 day me right tonsil gat swollen . For about 15 days . Start some pain in me neck and I felt it swollen . For 3-4 days I also had a headache . And then me right tonsil was ok , and me left tonsil get swollen I can feel it actually till today 24 august . I think on July 26 I start having a rash on me neck area and muscles aches.

You likely didn't have strep if your throat wasn't massively painful. Strep throat actually usually looks simply bright red. I'd guess you have tonsillitis. Your throat may just be swollen when you look back there. You can gargle with salt water to see if that helps or take ibuprofen to reduce swelling (if that is something you can take without problem). If it IS tonsillitis, antibiotics can clear that up.

Hi, I've had a sore throat for about a month now. It's only on one side and the tonsil on that side is clearly swollen. I'm a bit concerned, I've been to 2 different GPs and 1 prescribed antibiotics and the other just a anti-bacterial mouthwash. Nothing helped.

I was concerned about HIV and if having one swollen tonsil with no fever and swollen lymph nodes were symptoms and if the cancre sores are all related of could they be sepearate issues?
