Avatar f tn We went to see sm ENT after a round of amoxicillin gave no relief. She has a swollen tonsil on the right side that the ENT said was hard. She said the rest of the exam appeared normal but biopsied the hard spot, cutting a large chunk of tonsil out. It has been 6 days since the biopsy and we get results tomorrow. The PA for the ENT said maybe a tonsil stone, maybe tonsil cancer. She said she saw no signs of infection. When biopsied, we could see a large white spot.
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 Hi, a few months back I was diagnosed with tonsilitis and the treatment there was all fine. I recently realised my right tonsil and lymph node were swollen with cold symptoms and was told I have tonsilitis again and I am now on antibiotics. Blood test for glandular fever came back negative.
Avatar n tn I have similar problems! Swollen tonsil on one side, also swollen lymph nodes on neck (much larger on side of swollen tonsil) and extreme tiredness and muscle aches! Also my hair has gotten a lot thinner! Been tested for nearly everything, had the tiredness, muscle aches and hair thinning for 8 months, and the tonsil and lymph node for 3 months now!
Avatar f tn s pretty bad with constant tonsil stones/white stuff present. They often get very red, swollen and slightly painful. My question is does anyone know if tonsil stones have anything to do with geographic tongue? I get that on a regular basis as well and it is pretty distinct with often sensitivity to spicy foods. Also I occasionally get cold sores on the outside of my mouth. Are any of these mouth issues related?
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 My right tonsil is swollen and has been for 2 months. The tonsil itself doesn't seem to hurt but when I yawn it is definately uncomfortable in my ear and sometimes when I swallow it is uncomfortable in my throat but nothing extreme. I was in to see my regular doctor in April and she did a strep test, which was negative, and also looked at my ears which she said there was a little fluid.
Avatar n tn He discovered i also have a swollen tonsil. The swollen tonsil could be from post nasal drip, and the right tonsil is swollen because i sleep on my right side and so it is subject to the nasal drip. Still, he insisted i get an MRI because a swollen tonsil could indicate other problems - like a tumor for one. i had the MRI last night and hope to get results in several days.
Avatar n tn I've had a swollen tonsil for about a week- it is slowly getting better but I'm still concerned. My tonsils began to swell the day after I gave unprotected oral sex. I never had a fever or any pain (or any white spots), and my left tonsil was always more swollen. I went to a doctor last week, and he prescribed an antibiotic mouthwash and then penicillin, neither of which worked. I'm now waiting for blood work results. Could this be anything serious?
Avatar m tn I think, my RIGHT tonsil (green arrow) is swollen and I had long term sore throat before but now only happened in the morning(when i woke up) and there are some yellowish color in my throat and long swollen shape (blue arrow)... My tongue has a red dots on it, looks like strawberry and i have a bone ache, joint shooting, and tiredness. I have no loss weight, but actually gain weight. Could this be an infection or another problem?
Avatar n tn I have a swollen tonsil that is not painful. After reading different posts about tonsil stones, I took a q-tip and pushed it and these disgusting yellow chunks came out. So, I guess I do have tonsil stones. My question is how long after you express the stones does it normally take for the swelling of the tonsil to go down? Thank you.
Avatar f tn Hi, If you still have tonsils, this situation is common. I have enlarged tonsils and these small white or off white deposits collect in the "crypts" or pockets of the tonsils. I mentioned this to my Dr, but she did not seem to be concerned. I had them this week and also started to feel swollen glands and symtoms of a sinus infection. I find sinus issue and tonsil issues lead to a very stressful lefestyle. Even if I am not fighting infection, I am constantly reminded of these problems.
Avatar n tn I dont know why you say that swollen tonsil is not ARS. Tonsil and spleen are organs of the inmune system, so I think they could be swollen in an early infection of HIV. What do you think??
Avatar m tn About 2 days after we had sex, a weird needle-like pain started in the left side of my penis head / shaft, it moved slowly every day towards the left side of my pelvic / butt area, then it worked slowly it’s way to my throat - left tonsil – but by the time it reached my left tonsil, that needle-y pain has stopped in my pelvic / penis completely.
Avatar f tn Back in May my left cheek hurt for a few minutes and then swelled up, and stayed swollen for days. I was told by an urgent care doc it was probably a virus, and I did get a bad sore throat & tonsil which were very swollen and red. Also had fatigue, muscle aches, slight fever of 99.0 to 99.6 and earaches. After a month I was still sick, so my regular GP gave me a strep test, blood work and UA, all came back fine.
Avatar n tn ve also been given a course of antibiotics - erythromycin 250mg four times a day for seven days - for tonsillitis. Only one tonsil was slightly swollen and red over a week, a couple of bits of puss, no pain and no fever - the doctor has not performed a swab test. I have read that the side-effects of this drug are commonly nausea and vomiting and as someone who has a morbid fear of vomiting, I am really reluctant to take it.
Avatar f tn Hi my uvula is hanging down touching my tonsil and I'm coughing a lot plus my left tonsil feel funny
Avatar f tn I have had a sore throat, as well a swollen tonsil for a month or so before this contact. However, this tonsil is still swollen, and hurts on occasion.
Avatar m tn Hi, my left tonsil had holes in it and recently got swollen. I have no white stuff on it and I did about 8 HIV tests in 4 months, all negative. The tonsil swelled about 4 weeks ago and hasn't gone down since. I tried gargling with warm salt water, manuka honey and lemon juice. I have no fever, night sweats or throat pain. Throat slightly red and and get a little sore only when I smoke. My insurance just ran out. Has anyone had this?
Avatar f tn i have one swollen tonsil, my throat is slightly red, the other tonsil is, inflammed, i've had 2 shots of rocephin and have been taking amoxicillin, and now azithromycin,.....i'm concerned because 2 shots should have killed any bacteria i would imagine,.....the antibiotics seem to do nothing,,..... i'm lost.
Avatar m tn Could be a Strep Throat infection, which is only can be cured by taking an antibiotic. It best to go and get a check up, could be something more serious than just a Strep Throat. The sooner to get diagnosis and get the right treatment is the better, in order to avoid further complication. But a Strep Throat usually accompanied by fever, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, trouble swallowing, red and swollen tonsil. If you don't have any of these symptom, than it's not it.
Avatar m tn In addition to the swollen left tonsil, this was several weeks before the swollen tonsil, I have been having weird tingly feeling on my right mustache and sometimes burning feeling around my lips, at one point I had a re spot develop on the corner of my left side of my mouth while she first say her cold sore that week. We are both waiting for our results from PP maybe the end of this week.
454221 tn?1259445739 I did see an ENT doc, but at the time my tonsil was not swollen and did not see anything concerning. Since then my tonsil has swelled up again. My lung doc said I had severe allergies to dust mites and I have put covers on my mattresses and pillows and taken my claritin and flonase and it seems to make a difference. But since I had to move heavy mattresses and did a lot of vaccuming my neck feels tense. I have had this problem since I got my new carpet cleaner and all the other problems.
