swollen

454221 tn?1259445739 I have this feeling in my throat that something is stuck or swollen. 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?
Avatar f tn On February 3rd I had looked in the mirror and noticed that my right tonsil was larger than the left. I had zero pain or soreness but started checking for swollen glands in my neck and found 2. This drove me crazy for a week or so then I went to a Dr who referee me to an entire. In the time waiting to see the specialist I had 2 instances of spitting up several tiny stinky stones the last incident was about 2 weeks ago.
Avatar f tn not swollen, smaller than normal, lingual tonsil pain/slight swelling, pus pockets on palatine, no tonsil stones, very bright red vein only on this palatine, almost flat craters, squishy, maybe a small pus pocket on lingual? (round, white, sticks up like a dome, not on other side) Right: big, pus pockets, squishy, almost flat craters, no pain at all, was the problem side the week prior. Anything helps you guys! I’m so so confused about what this is.
Avatar n tn I have similar problems! Swollen tonsil on one side, also swollen lymph nodes on neck (much larger on side of swollen tonsil) and extreme tiredness and muscle aches! Also my hair has gotten a lot thinner! Been tested for nearly everything, had the tiredness, muscle aches and hair thinning for 8 months, and the tonsil and lymph node for 3 months now!
Avatar n tn For the past year the lymph nodes under my chin have constantly been swollen. In the past four months I have been constantly sick. The doctor would give me antibiotics and I would get better, but when I was through with the medication within a couple of days I was back to being sick. I am a teacher and contributed my sickness to being around my students with their germs. I began getting concerned with the pain in my neck went to my jaw and then to my ear.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn The docs have always told me it was large compared to other. This has been within the last 15 years. I never paid any attention to it t now. Been watching it now for three months no change. With lymphoma, wouldn't I have some tender, swollen lymph nodes? I have no pain anywhere. The tonsil itself is healthy looking tissue to match the rest of my mouth just much larger than the left one that looks like it shrunk. I don't have no throat infection now.
Avatar n tn I never had a fever or any pain (or any white spots), and my left tonsil was always more swollen. I went to a doctor last week, and he prescribed an antibiotic mouthwash and then penicillin, neither of which worked. I'm now waiting for blood work results. Could this be anything serious?
Avatar f tn My right tonsil is swollen and has been for 2 months. The tonsil itself doesn't seem to hurt but when I yawn it is definately uncomfortable in my ear and sometimes when I swallow it is uncomfortable in my throat but nothing extreme. I was in to see my regular doctor in April and she did a strep test, which was negative, and also looked at my ears which she said there was a little fluid.
Avatar f tn i have one swollen tonsil, my throat is slightly red, the other tonsil is, inflammed, i've had 2 shots of rocephin and have been taking amoxicillin, and now azithromycin,.....i'm concerned because 2 shots should have killed any bacteria i would imagine,.....the antibiotics seem to do nothing,,..... i'm lost.
Avatar m tn I've been having a swollen tonsil for the past 3 and half months now without any pain since day one and i feel fatigue and sometimes waking up with little blood blister in my lower lips but when afternoon comes and check the blister its gone. is it a symptom of HIV?
Avatar m tn This sounds like tonsillitis. If it was hsv, it wouldn’t last 4 months and you would more than likely have symptoms ON the mouth and not just inside. Oral herpes can cause throat leasions but without symptoms outside the mouth as well, that would be rare.
Avatar f tn I am a male, 28 and last week I had oral sex with a woman. Three days after I got one swollen tonsil with slight pain when swallowing and white spots on tonsil. I went to the ER and they tested me for mono and strep. Which came back negative. Now they tested me for STD's and I am still waiting those results but I do not have fever and no pain anymore. However the tonsils have grown and now my right one is affected too.
1142320 tn?1261359451 My sore throat was very severe for about a week in May and then it stopped hurting but my left tonsil has remained swollen. The lymph nodes in the left side of my neck have been swollen this whole time too, and I have armpit pain on the left side. I recently developed some sort of illness with coughing, severe sore throat, and sneezing AGAIN... I went to the doctor and they have no idea what it is! I have been tested for everything under the sun... all normal. Hope you get yours figured out!
Avatar n tn About a month ago, I woke up and my left tonsil was swollen and red and hurt a little bit when I would swallow hard, otherwise there was no pain. The next day, I noticed white stuff on a few areas of the tonsil. Over the next couple of days it kept getting worse, and even my right tonsil was covered in the white stuff, so I went to the doctor. She did a strep test which came back negative. I guess she didn't know what it was and she gave me an antibiotic. The antibiotic took care of it.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn here is a link to some pics showing the growth in my nose and swollen tonsil... also a pic of my slightly discoloured joints in fingers.. hi again Rhonda... my wife noticed today that I have a rather large bright red growth up my nose... im a little worried its related to my swollen tonsil.. here is a link to an online album showing pics of it... what do you think I have included a pic of my swollen tonsil and my slightly discolored finger joints. http://imgur.
Avatar n tn ve also been given a course of antibiotics - erythromycin 250mg four times a day for seven days - for tonsillitis. Only one tonsil was slightly swollen and red over a week, a couple of bits of puss, no pain and no fever - the doctor has not performed a swab test. I have read that the side-effects of this drug are commonly nausea and vomiting and as someone who has a morbid fear of vomiting, I am really reluctant to take it.
Avatar n tn Blood test for glandular fever came back negative. My concern is that my swollen tonsil and lymph node may have been like this for a long time without realisation and I have also seen dark spots on my tonsil now that I am on the medication but have read that it is a good sign showing that it is working. I am 15 years old and I am silly enough to search up everything, and the whole lymph node/tonsil swelling thing leads me to lymphoma and cancer. Should I be worried about this right now?
Avatar f tn Hi, You have a history of swollen left tonsil for 8 months now, with some fluctuation in size. Now the right tonsil too is beginning to get enlarged. This is not how a typical story of cancer of the tonsil unfolds. I would not worry about cancer just yet. Please get the opinion of an ENT surgeon, get a tonsillar swab for culture and sensitivity, do daily warm saline gargles, and take a course of appropriate antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Hi. My right tonsil is bigger than my left. there is no pain or any other symptoms besides the right side of my neck being a little tender. From a scale of 1- 10 the tenderness being a 1. I also have swollen gums. Maybe that may have something to do with it? what could this be? Should I take this seriously?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I have had tonsil stones but now my right tonsil is very large. No sore throat scratchy throat pain just pressure pain. It feels as if i have a growth in my tonsil or a clogged duct. I can feel the lump in my tonsil with my tongue and if i push with my tongue a bad taste will follow. I have had pain behind my tonsil, in my ear and also behind the glands in my neck. I also have a wisdom tooth which is partially exposed.
