Common Questions and Answers about Swollen tonsils breathing

Avatar f tn My daughter is three years old and she has had swollen tonsils for about two months now. The Dr. doesn't know why. She says that she needs her tonsils out. But all she has tried is steroids and allergy meds. Steroids brought the swelling down a little but as soon as she was done with them they went back. It worries me because she is having problems breathing at night sometimes. Some nights are worse then others. I dont know why she hasn't tried antibiotics.
Avatar m tn I had strep throat about 2 weeks ago and they put me on antibiotics. I got better, but now my tonsils are swollen with white pus on them. They aren't sore at all. They are just swollen again and I don't know why. If any of you know, please let me know!!!
Avatar m tn I a 19 year old female and have noticed swollen tonsils for almost a year now. In Mid-August 2014 I had what my campus doctor told me was a viral infection, which tested negative for strep. I had a sore throat, hoarse voice, and was given nothing for it at the doctors and was told it would go down on its own.
Avatar f tn I always feel like I have something stuck in my throat, or my lymph nodes or my tonsils are swollen. I have gone to the doctor, he checked my lungs (said they are fine) he checked my throat and said it was clear. He gave me Dexamethas and Benzonatat, not only that but I have a Ventolin inhaler and a Qvar inhaler. Problem is, I begin to feel better, but then after I take my medicine, it gets worse. I cough to the point that my lungs hurt and so does my head.
Avatar m tn I need some help. I have swollen tonsils but I do not have a cold or flu. I have had them for months now. I went to two doctors and they gave me some drugs, but they told me that sometimes when people get sick the tonsils stay swollen. What can be done about this? It is uncomfortable. I also notice that I constantly have a stuffy, runny nose. What causes this? I'm pretty certain i'm not allergic to anything.
Avatar f tn I have swollen gland on my left hand side of my throat, I have no tonsils, but when it really gets really swollen I find it very hard to breath and swallow, please help.
Avatar f tn I been sick on and off for awhile now and everyone I get sick I have to go to the hospital cause I can't breath. My tonsils been getting really swollen. I have pain in my ears and only occurs while swallowing, I have chills, fatigue, fever and of course difficulty swallowing. I have an impaired voice. Nasal congestion and runny nose.
Avatar m tn Are you having trouble breathing? I had a swollen throat about 5 years ago and it turned out to be mono. If it persists, I would suggest seing an ENT. Hope you feel better soon!
Avatar n tn I am wondering if she has enlarged adnoids. I know whe has very large tonsils and has trouble with certain foods getting stuck but she has never had strep throat. She does have noisy breathing when she sleeps but not a ton of snoring but always has dark circles under her eyes. Any thoughts?? I am thinking of getting a second opinion from an ENT.
Avatar m tn 1 week after the exposure i got fever, coudnt eat because of swollen tonsils and started taking antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. they did help in a way, but 10 days after taking the first one i stopped. 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.
494976 tn?1302710701 Recently it has been concerning me as the back of his throat looks really fat. Like his tonsils are swollen. This is all the time and I have also noticed his glands under his jaw are nearly always up, especially on one side. His Dad and Uncle had there adenoids removed as small children and I wondered if problems with the adenoids was hereditary.

Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn Okay, so here's the story. For the past month I've had swollen tonsils with white pieces of mucous or whatever and they tend to break off and they're not that great tasting. I've also had horrible breath and a slight sore throat. So i go to the doctor and he tells me it's strep so he gave me an antibiotic. I've known that it's not strep and the doctor was stupid.
Avatar f tn Thursday morning I woke up to a sore/ scratchy throat. I figured it was from sleeping with my hair a little wet and having the fan on the night before and would go away later in the day. It never went away and continued. Friday was the same thing my throat felt to itchy and irritated I would keep coughing. Friday night it felt gross to swallow my saliva. Saturday it was the same thing so I looked in my mouth and noticed my tonsils were swollen.
Avatar f tn ve gave oral sex to my boyfriend on the weekend and now I have really swollen tonsils and they have lots of puss spots which are extremely swollen and very painful. I went to the doctors and they gave me penicillin but said if it was an infection (I think) it wouldn't work. I have been taking paracetamol for pain and ibuprofen now which has helped a lot but not sure if the swelling is going down. I looked at them again and the puss spots seem to have gotten more white, what does this mean?
Avatar f tn For two weeks my tonsils have been swollen with white spots all over them. But i have no other symptoms at all, no fever, headache, rash, cough, congestion or anything else. I've been holding off going to the doctors cause I feel fine, should I wait more or should I make an appointment?
Avatar n tn But towards the beginning of 2012 I went back to see my doctor complaining that I am still suffering from usual symptoms like breathe oddur (white/yellow coatings on the tonsils), difficulties in swallowing, feeling feverish sometimes, difficulties in breathing properly and inflamed nose, ringing in the ears etc I told him I was suffering from.
Avatar f tn Hi, both the tonsils and rhinitis can cause problems with breathing. Make her sleep on her side and ensure to keep the nasal passages free with nasal drops, this should improve her breathing. If her symptoms worsen, she can undergo a sleep study to quantify her breathing problem, based on the results your doctor can decide on therapy. Regards.
Avatar f tn Back in May I had an extremely sore throat with white spots on my tonsils thought it would go away on its own ended up with my uvula swelling so bad I thought I was going to choke on it. I went to the hospital immediately they told me I had uvulitis gave me prednisone and told me to take benadryl. I did the whole 5 days of prednisone the sore throat went away and the uvula went down a bit.
Avatar m tn about 4 days ago my tongue really swelled up. i didnt have any breathing troubles. it was just puffy. and about 2 days ago i had a nasty sinus infection. i went to the doc and he put me on zpacks and deaconex for swelling. its helped alot but now i have this hard dry feeling back by my tonsils. my tongue is still a little bit puffy. i was thinking its because of the post nasal drip. but i was curious what you guys thought. Id like to just bring my tounge back to normal and go on.
Avatar f tn i used to suffer chronic tonsillitis, my right tonsil was enlarged so i went to an ent and had my tonsils removed last year. the past couple of months i've been getting pain in my neck. everytime i swallow something i feel something is still there. like a lump or something... it isn't hard to swallow and doesnt hurt... i fear it's throat cancer but doctors say my throat looks fine... everytime i swallow my ears pop... i'm tired. my breathing is heavy.
Avatar f tn I also have swollen gums. Maybe that may have something to do with it? what could this be? Should I take this seriously?
