Swollen tonsils trouble swallowing
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen tonsils trouble swallowing
swollen
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.
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.
I had my tonsils removed over 2 weeks ago and well my uvula is still swollen and I am not able to eat much.
I wish I can fast forward 2 months in the future to get the swelling down.
I so understand your position though. What I have heard from others is that it can take months for the uvula to get back into proper psition.
Hang in there. All the best.
If you are still uncertain then maybe see the ENT who did the surgery to explain things.
1), achy, chills, loss of appetite, runny nose, swollen tonsils, white spots of the tonsils, and grey-ish tongue (tried brushing my tongue for awhile and it doesn't change colors). I get strep often and I have antibiotics on hand but after I looked at my tonsils in the mirror with a flashlight it looks nothing like the strep I've had before.
I can understand your doc not wanting to give you oral pain meds, since you are already having trouble swallowing and aren't able to eat - you more than likely would hav ea very difficult time taking the pain meds - however, he could have prescribed you a throat/mouth gargle that contains a lidocaine type medication that would help numb your throat and mouth so that maybe you'd at least be able to get some liquids down.
I had a fever of around 103*F with nasal congestion, a sore throat, and swollen tonsils. Over the past few days, I started to have a pain in my left ear and I noticed that the left side of my neck is swollen and tender. Through all this, I have had a severe sore throat that makes it difficult to swallow. The pain changes daily, and is worst when I wake up in the morning. When I first became sick, I had trouble sleeping through the night because of the intense pain.
A week later I notice my tonsils were swollen and had some white patches/spots. Consulted my doctor and he prescribed a stronger anti biotic (ampicillin) for which I took the complete dose. Saw no change (still white spots on swollen tonsils,NO PAIN). I further go prescribed augmentin tablets which I swallowed complete dose but nothing has changed.
I am now confused. what the hell could this be.
Anyone had a similar experience, please share.
I have had swollen tonsils 3 times in the last month. I was told that ars symptoms can come and go. Is this so? Does ars cause swollen tonsils, headache, feeling hot, soreness behind eyes? I have a new partner who says he is fine. I feel like something is very wrong. I am a 33 year old female who has never had tonsil problems before. Please help.
I had a runny nose after about 15-20 days which lasted for about a week and in April 5-6 i started having trouble swallowing with swollen tonsils, the tonsils have got better now its been about 8-10 days but still some pain and some swelling remains.
I tried looking for any ulcers but because of the tonsils (like i said the pain feels like it´s behind the tonsils) i cannot see. At the moment the spot on the left side is constantly aching causing me a mild headache and earache.
My throat was examined by throat culture for angina but the test was negative.
A couple months ago I noticed pain when swallowing on the right side of my throat. I took a flashlight and saw that my right tonsil was inflamed and covered with white specks. I went to my general physician...she ruled out strep throat. She gave me a 10-day antibiotic...she wasn't quite sure what the problem was. I went through the antibiotic and saw no improvement. That was about a month ago.
Recently, it looks as if the left tonsil is also becoming inflamed/swollen.
I have a history of inner ear infections. Now, my tonsils are swollen and im having trouble swallowing properly, needless to say its painful. I called my Dr and she said I need to rest and drink lots of fluids. Im 15 weeks, 1st pregnancy and extremely nervous. Has anyone experienced something similar? What to take without harming the baby. My fear is this turning into full blown flu.
I had unprotected sex and oral sex with someone for the first time about 3 days ago. My tonsils have been swelling up so I have difficulty swallowing. Could this be a possible STD? Keep in mind I am sixteen and getting checked could lead to my mother seriously getting mad at me, so if it's nothi to worry about let me know.
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.
m experiencing discomfort (not like a sore throat) swallowing, like my lymph nodes or tonsils are swollen and making it a little inconvenient to swallow. I've also noticed sores on the back of my throat, and one or two white spots on my tonsils.
I've had no headaches, no burning sensations during urination, no fevers, just tender neck lymph nodes and discomfort swallowing, but it's not bad. I'm getting tested tomorrow for something.
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. I seem to have streaks of pus just behind my jaw.

Symptoms of strep throat include throat pain, difficulty swallowing, red and swollen tonsils, swollen/tender lymph glands in the neck, fever, and fatigue. However, these set of symptoms may also be observed in a viral infection or some other kind of illness. To confirm if this is due to streptococcus bacteria, throat swab or culture and direct physical examination may be done. If this is due to a viral infection, it usually resolves after a few days.
The following Monday, my tonsils were a bit swollen. Then on Tuesday, they got bigger to a point of making swallowing difficult yet painless. A few tiny white spots could be seen on them also.
This lasted through Wednesday. Today, Thursday, my tonsils are still swollen but seem to have decreased in size and it looks like the condition could clear on its own.
My questions are:
1. Does throat gonorrhea does this?
Hi Lisa,
Your syptoms sound very similar to mine, except I'm Hypo. My lymph nodes have been getting swollen lately. The last time they became swollen I couldn't swollow, turn my head, or even talk. I have been hoarse for some time now, troubling swollowing, and I also have a cough. When I went to the doctor she felt a mass in my neck and checked to make sure I didn't have lung cancer. Results came back good. I went in for an US and they found a 7cm nodule.

5 days ago I had unprotected oral and vaginal sex and today i started having trouble swallowing so I checked my throat in the mirror and I have these white and blackish spots on my left tonsil also my uvula is sticking to my tonsils there's a mucus like substance on it and im wondering if I could have gotten an infection or std through oral sex
In the morning, I looked at my tonsils and they were swollen and had white patches. I google a bit on it and came to know that it could be strep throat since symptoms indicated it but I dont have the associated fever/tiredness. I do have a slight discomfort swallowing but it not a big deal. Could it be something else. I decided to wait a day or two before consulting a doctor. What is everyones opinion. Attaching a pic of the inflamed tonsils.

What should I do???
