throat

Avatar n tn Results are back. They found something in my tonsil. Going to have them removed. I talk to the Dr on Thursday and find out what kind of mass. This is the final suggestion on the CT scan: asymmetry in the transparency of the oropharynx secondary to a prominent left tonsil. inflammatory or neoplastc coindition may be considered. The radiologist does not mention a mass or size. Does that mean it is too small? Any help?
1600722 tn?1297607675 They same to come about of no where, protruding from the cavities in the back at the top of my throat, and then this evening i was bombarded with them, with them popping out at the top and bottom of my throat,below and beside the tongue, a very difficult spot, thus i had to throw up to get them out. I still feel there is more left in a cavity at the top but am too worn out to pursue. I was wondering if the any connection with tonsil stones and over active acid in one's stomach?
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.
Avatar f tn I had ear fullness and throat began to get sore just on left side. Dr. First said acid reflux but meds was not helping. So one day while my throat was really sore I looked with flashlight and seen a white spot on left tonsil. Was put on antibiotics but did not help so I decided to press in on tonsil while holding the light. To my surprise I popped out a tonsil stone.
Avatar f tn However, with my sore throat I have a lot of post nasal drip (possible cause of sore throat?). I take a combo of ibuphrophen, tylenol, and musinex to manage the pain. About 7 years ago I had reoccurring tonsillitis, saw an ENT and he put me on a strong antibiotic for 3 weeks. That seem to kick the tonsillitis, but I still get the sore throat with my tonsils turing bright red and my right tonsil still gets slightly inflamed.
1288270 tn?1301287612 I have an ulcer I guess,On my tonsil...Its swollen and dosent really hurt...No other symptoms...Any ideas what it is?
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 ve had persistent problems with my left tonsil. Since then it kind of appears as if it were receding back into my throat, and looked semi-atrophying and patchy and just generally weird. Recently i checked my tonsils, and the left one is gone! Like... it isn't there at ALL, and to the left of my throat where the tonsil used to be there is what looks like an oval-shaped hole in my throat.
Avatar f tn I did get a referral to an ENT and I will still be going as I still feel like something is stuck in my tonsil,and my one tonsil is still larger. But the growth I was concerned about is gone! I'm Hoping all the weird things going on with this tonsil have all just been a result of an untreated infection.
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 n tn Called ENT on Monday and by this time there was a hole in right tonsil. Dr. explained that it was a tonsil stone/ infection that could have gotten larger but by probing the tonsil they extracted a mucus build-up that was trapped in the tonsil. Her doctor explained that when he first went into practice there was a lump the size of a ping pong ball that was in a man's tonsil. He probed it and drained the mucus and cleared up the lump. I hope you find a solution to your lumpy mass.
Avatar m tn My tongue does always feel dirty and I am cleaning it two times a day, every morning and every evening. I get tonsil stones and I have popped out very many of them. If I squeeze my tonsils there will always come white mucus out of them, or a tonsil stone... I constantly feel that there is something stuck in my throat, which are tonsil stones that I haven't gotten out yet because I can't find them no matter how much I push on my tonsils.
Avatar f tn For 2 years I have had a significant problem with sinus drainage, coughing and consistent clearing of my throat. By half way through the day my throat hurts so bad that it is hard to talk. What can I do. I've seen and ENT dr twice and an allergy specialist. The latest option the ENT dr. gave me was to try some medication Omeprazole for acid reflux even though I have no issues with that. What can I do?
Avatar n tn I think you may have tonsil stones.. Check with your ears/nose and throat specialist. Tonsil stones develop when small particle of food and bacteria collect in/behind the tonsils( even if you had your tonsils out, they can grow back in time). Adenoids can become enlarged and collect particles and bacteria.You might also have wrinkles in your throat that can collect these same particles and bacteria. The result can be, and was for me, tonsil stones.
Avatar f tn My throat is not sore, but on the left side, there is a swollen mass that is in the same area my tonsil would be. A NP was afraid it was an abscess, but my dr didn't think it was. My blood work is still out on an official mono dx, but the thing in my throat is not getting any smaller. It sometimes makes me keep like gagging. Any idea what this is? Or if I need to see an ENT to have it drained/removed? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with a cyst on a piece of my tonsil . It is so irritating and I can hardly hold a conversation or sleep without coughing due to the irritation I am having from the tickling of my throat where the cyst is. It cause me bad breath no matter how much I brush my teeth or my tongue or gargle with mouth wash. Should I be worried that this cyst could become something more serious if it isn't taken out with my tonsil too.
Avatar f tn Yeah, my throat has been constantly red for ages now, and I have tonsils that produce tonsil stones on occasion with one tonsil in particular being larger than the other. The large tonsil looks almost like it's separated vertically by a large purple vein, and the part of the tonsil close to the center of my throat is somewhat pale looking. Should I be concerned? If so, what could be causing these problems?
Avatar f tn I have had a low grade sore throat this time for almost 5 weeks and just discovered my tonsil on just the left size only is about double the size of the right one. My throat discomfort, when it appears is always just on the left, where the swollen tonsil is and before this experience I had a low grade sore throat, sometimes with a feeling of a lump stuck in it. Hasn't ever really hurt to swallow, in fact food and drink seems to relieve pain.
Avatar f tn Anyway I went to the ent and he did a thorough exam and even scoped me threw my nose and down my throat. He said my nasal passages were red and so was my throat but he found nothing other than that. I explained to him about those stones and he said I was just one of those lucky ones. Put me on 14 days of augmenting and 7 days of prednisone. I'm done with the prednisone and on day9 of he antibiotics. No change in my tonsil. He told me if it didn't work to come back.
Avatar n tn Anyways, monday night I started to feel a little sore and swollen in my throat, my ears were hurting and my glands were kinda sore. I went to the ER and the triage nurse looked at my throat and said that my tonsils and uvula (the little punching bag) are really swollen and red, but no pus, and no fever, but i felt warm to the tough. She kinda gave me the impression that something was really wrong.
Avatar f tn Its never happened before &my mouth and throat were really dry during thenight
Avatar f tn It could be strep throat, tonsil stones amount other things. I would consult your Dr. Try to gargle with hot salt water, clean them gently with a q tip and drink sprite in a can. The salt water has cleaning properties, q tip can let you get a better view and let you know if it is pus or a harder substance and the sprite in a can has more carbonation than bottle and if it is a stone that can sometimes bubble it loose.
Avatar f tn Hello im new to this, so forgive me if im posting in the wrong forum. I was hoping a health professional could help. About 2 yrs ago for the first time i had bacterial strep. Pus was all over my tonsils. I gave a girl oral after that i went gym maybe a few days later. Maybe a week after my throat started feeling funny never sore tonsils just felt swollen when i swallowed, paid it no mind then a two days later a sudden sore throat terrible pain.
Avatar f tn Went to the dr in late November for strep throat and a sinus infection, tested negative for strep but I have cobblestone throat and my left tonsil is inflamed. My doctor said I have some pus behind It & I have a small hole on my tonsil as well. My throat does not hurt and I no longer have any symptoms. I have taken both azthromycin and doxycycline. My throat still looks the same. My doctor has said just to keep an eye on it. Should I just go ahead and go to an ENT?
