Swollen tonsils and cough
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen tonsils and cough
swollen
So recently i had oral sex with my partner and like a day later I developed a cough. I've been coughing for about a week but today I noticed that my tonsils are swollen and i noticed 1 white spot on one of my tonsils. I got tonsilitus (sorry don't know how to spell that) when i was 16 and ever since then when i get sick my tonsils are the first thing to act up. They swell up and they hurt. This time they don't hurt but they are swollen.
Very swollen tonsils, sore throat, harder to swallow, strong/choking cough, sore neck, ears plugged, a little white (not bumps) around tonsil, perfect temperature.
Day 4 (now): Very plugged ears, Swollen tonsils, less of sore throat, same cough, sore neck, same white around tonsil, a little bit plugged nose, perfect temperature still.
I was trying to look it up but I don't know what I have. Help?
Is this the right section, I'm new here?
Went to student health again, was prescribed benzonatate and Claritin. Now week 4, I have a wet cough, stuffy/runny nose, swollen tonsils, coughing enough to vomit a couple times a night.
Why am I not getting better / should I go back to the doctor?
When it comes to getting rest I'm doing the best I can, but I am getting average sleep that my body is use to, sometimes even more.
Fisrt day was fever and sweating with acheing joints and some vomiting. Days 2-10 swollen tonsils with white patches (extremely painful). Now my uvula is swollen and sitting on my tounge. Ok so heres what I have been using to combat this. Gargle with salt water, Drink warm water with honey and lemon, Tylenol for pain (actually works for once), had some fluticasone propionate for nasal congestion (stopped working so switched to afrin) and zinc cough drops.
a couple months ago he had a huge swollen lymph node on his neck it was huge like the size of a ping pong ball and his tonsils were so swollen and white and ***** the doc tested him for strep and nothing. but she did give him meds.so we waited a few days and it went away no big deal, so about a month and a half ago him and my daughter both got sick with a runny nose cough fever bug.
It is accompanied with a mild sore throat and slightly swollen tonsils. Before any pain began I had about 3 weeks of a mild cough, that is almost nonexistent now. The symptoms are:
* Painful and some swelling joints, both sides of the body: neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, some finger, hips, knees, ankles and big toes
* Morning pain, sometimes cannot raise one or both arms to brush hair, etc.
The day after, I have really bad pain while swallowing (which only lasted two hours after waking up, then disappeared), swollen lymph nodes, a lot of mucous, stuffed nosed and a cough. The pain was more around the back of my mouth/tonsils and not my throat going down into my stomach. This lasted for two weeks, and then recently I've noticed a white/yellow coating on my tongue that gets thicker the further back my tongue goes.
1 week after that incident, I developed some disease, I got swollen tonsils(only on the left side) , fever and cough, I took Amoxicilin and the fever lasted for 2 days approx.
If the tonsils are swollen and if you have swollen glands in the neck then you should take antibiotics. Also sine you have fatigue for so long, there is a lingering infection for sure.
The symptoms of discomfort from left ear, to the angle of jaw on the left side along with fatigue can be due to heart problem too. It can also be due to blockage in the left ear canal or Eustachian tube due to accumulation of secretions as in sinusitis, tonsillitis.

I have the cold, cough, runny nose, headaches, but it's just getting worse with time. My tonsils are very, very swollen, hurts to pass saliva, drink or eat anything, also to talk. I've been having my humidifier on the last two nights it helps a little no heather cuz makes it worse.
4 weeks after I had white spots on my tonsils, low grade fever 99.5- 100.4 it was off and on. alittle chills no much, sore throat and cough. negitve strep and mono test . this just sucks. I odnt have anymore white spots although I use to get the for about 2-3 months off and on not severe just one or two pus pockets would pop up for a while and eventually go away. no I just have nasuea, swollen glands(is pea sized swollen????
I've been battling a persistent cough from hay fever for almost a week along with sinus drainage (post-nasal drip) and mild chest congestion. I've been treating it with allergy medication that you have to ask for at the pharmacy, the kind that has the 2 meds in them, loratadine and pseudoephedrine. In an effort to fight off the post nasal drip, I did some research and found that to kill the post-nasal drip from allergies, try the Flonase allergy spray.
the symptoms i first had was a very sore throat, dry cough swollen neck glands that werent painful and just generally not feeling well. theses all happend about 12 days after the enounter.i have had a couple night sweats aswell but not as if the sheets were soaking or anything but they were slightly wet but i think this is down to the anxiety.
3 weeks after the exposure, my throat is still red, lymph nodes and tonsils are still a bit swollen and i have some sort of dry cough occasionally.
My question is: could this be HPV related? How long does it take for throat cancer to develop after HPV exposure?
Please, I am really scared. Thank you.
A PCP needs to examine and see whether you have swollen tonsils, redness at the back of the throat, post nasal drip etc. Pharyngitis, tonsillitis or basically an upper respiratory infection can be due to several pathogens. You should consult your doctor for antibiotics. Also an X-ray of the chest will be needed. Meanwhile you can take an OTC anti-inflammatory and do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day. Drinking warm lemonade, hot clear soups and herbal tea may soothe the throat considerably.
m dating. Two days after our encounter, I woke up with a red, itchy throat, swollen tonsils and a white coating on my tongue. I also had all of the symptoms of a yeast infection. I went to my doctor to have all of the STD tests run and am awaiting the results. I also was given treatment for oral thrush and vaginal yeast. While these are slowly clearing, the swollen tonsils and redness in the throat have not improved at all.
I've read that oral herpes can present as tonsillitis.
I have had what I think are swollen tonsils on the right side since dec off and on. In Feb they became sore and I came down with a horrible whooping cough and flu mixture. After 4 weeks that finally went away. I went to the dr 3 times and they did chest x-rays, blood work, etc...they all said it was a virus. After I finally thought I had gotten rid of all of it, the swollen side is back. You can see them right?
Didn’t seem a big deal, and was accompanied by quite a lot of phlegm and a cough. A couple of days later, it started getting REALLY sore- hot and mega dry. Recognising the pain in swallowing, I went to the GP who hardly looked at my mouth at all. He assumed tonsillitis because I have a bit of a history, and prescribed penicillin.
The antibiotics aren’t working, so I figure it must be viral. My throat seems to be getting worse and worse,but my tonsils don’t seem to be particularly swollen.
Having asthma type symptoms. Tried inhalers and cough meds, and cough drops. Still improving but i feel my lymphs are swollen and scratching to top back of throat and sides, clearing throat, chest pressure. I hope its not a cyst but this is allergy season. I also have found out i have a goiter with nodules so i am going to have further test done. i would also check yourself for reflux and have your thyroid sono done.

I am just wondering what could be causing all tis sicknesses in my son. He has never seemd completely symptom free for the past 10 months and I am getting extremely worried and dont feel like the doctors are checking everything to be sure to find what the cause is.
