Swollen tonsils mucus

Common Questions and Answers about Swollen tonsils mucus

swollen

Avatar f tn ve noticed a few small white spots on my tonsils while also experiencing a sore throat. My tonsils are slightly swollen as well. I've tried picking at them with my finger but they don't seem to come off - they're sort of mucus-like (not hard). Also it hurts to swallow. On my right tonsil there are a couple dots of white and on my left tonsil it looks a little stringy (which is why I thought it was just mucus). Any idea what this could be?
Avatar f tn Hi, brief introduction; 1-2 weeks ago I developed swollen tonsils with no other symptoms but sore throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and basically that was about it. Last week I visited the otolaryngologist and he said it didn`t looked that bad, so he gave me a shot of betamethasone and I've been on clarithromycin for about a week with not much of improvement. Like 3-4 days ago, I've developed White spots in the tonsils and blood mixed with mucus down the back of my throat.
Avatar n tn The day after that, I had a moderate sore throat, and I could see an excess of mucus on my tonsils - symptoms of tonsillitis, as I read. For the next two days, this mucus and sore throat were my main symptoms, with the intensity of my sore throat oscillating through the day and between the days.
Avatar m tn unable to swallow other than water, yogurt and warm/cold fluids for over a week. No strep throat. No tonsils. Any ideas what it can be? I have mucus in throat, nasal and left ear. Regular Dr. put me on Levaquin, Nexum and Tussicaps but doesn't know what's causing problem.
Avatar f tn It has gotten worse and my tonsils are swollen. There is also white deposits on my tonsils. My throat has mucus and it feels as if my sinus is draining. I feel stuffy at times as well. Could this be pharyngeal gonorrhea?
Avatar f tn That combined with the post nasal dripping makes it difficult to swallow. The white mucus (moon like) discharge on your tonsils is your bodies way of fighting the infection. If this continues I would see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. I kept getting strep and ignored the infection until it was so sever I had to have a tonsillectomy. It is painful for an adult to go through but I've never had a sore throat or post nasal drip since!
Avatar m tn Two days later I woke up with a sore throat and bright green mucus going down the back of my throat. The next day I went to the University health center where I tested negative for the rapid strep test. I went ahead and got the GC done as well just to be safe. The strep culture ended up coming back positive with strep group G and negative in the GC. I asked about my tonsils (which didnt seem to concern the doctor) had miniscule white streaks which I was told was just mucus caught in them.
Avatar m tn t remember when I first noticed that my tonsils were swollen because it came on gradually, but it was at most 1 to 2 days after this sexual episode. I went to the doctor earlier today and they tested me for strep, which came back negative. They said it was probably just a virus and would pass on its own. However, now I am worried that this could be oral gonorrhea or some other type of STD...although the doctor never mentioned this.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn I was given another medication (Chlorpheniramine 4mg) because I was feeling like having swollen tonsils. The puffer made the mucus in my lungs very thick. This made me stop both of them. Since then I have trouble with the mucus in my lungs which tends to be very thick. I also did a bronchoscopy where the doctor told me that he can see the inflammation in my lungs. The doctor took a sputum sample & did some test for fungi & asbestos bodies (ABs) and found nothing (negative).

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 f tn Also, it feels like something is stuck in my throat and I spit up mucus or clear mucus all day. I have started anal itching like crazy where it looks like my anus is a little swollen and having diarrhea or loose stool where it's dark green. I tested negative for HiV at 4 weeks. I am going crazy with anxiety and stress thinking this is Herpes. Please help me and let me know are these the symptoms of both types of Herpes even though I already tested negative for both types.
Avatar n tn The right flap in the back of the throat before the tonsils looks like there is a white stripe and it feels swollen and hurts a little. There is no apparent swelling of the glands on the outside of my throat. Please help this is really annoying.
Avatar f tn Some one please I know it's long but can someone please tell me what's going on with my body I'm just so exhausted from everything, I just don't know anymore. Also, I apologize in advance for not so fun information and I am horrible at grammar(I have learning disorders). So, I'm 26 year old female. I started with strep June 22,2015. I was put on penicillin 3x for 10 days.
Avatar m tn On the third day my throat started hurting. My tonsils are infected and there are some white dots on the sides of them. My gums on the top of my jaw behind my two front teeth are swollen and they are white around the most sensitive spots. I keep coughing up mucus, its normally a clear color with just a hint of yellow. And I am just generally tired. Is this an STD? I wasn't that worried at first because I've had tonsillitis before but the swollen gums concerns me.
Avatar f tn I visited my boyfriend in Paris and he had a bad cough that would wake him up at night. But he didn't seem sick at all. So 6 days after being with him I got a sore throat, which turned into a sinus infection). After doing sinus irrigations, drinking a lot of hot water with apple cider vinger, and eating well for 2 weeks - I seem to be better; however, my throat is now hurting again (it never seemed to go away completely, but mostly).

Avatar m tn I had a swollen spleen, neck pain, fatigue, white mucus covering my tonsils, swollen tonsils and ear pain, but I tested negative for mono and positive for strep throat. I had antibiotics to treat the strep throat but my throat still hurts like crazy. Do you know which disease I could have then?
2078156 tn?1331939171 Hello all, my name is Adam. I've been suffering with trouble breathing, excessive mucus (it feels like I am congested with mucus all the time), and especially nasal congestion for about 3 years. I just had endoscopic surgery, as well as having my tonsils removed.
Avatar f tn You have probably a bad attack of viral fever. 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. Meanwhile you can take an OTC anti-inflammatory and do warm saline gargles 2-3 times a day.
