abscess
My boyfriend and I had sex and I got an infection on my tonsil I did go to my doctor and they said it was it was an abscess on my tonsil treated with antibiotics and it went away well 2 months later I had sex again and same thing happened. Now I’m wondering could it be mono ? If so how is he not sick ?
if you are still having obstruction to swallowing, or pain or fever then, you must seek medical attention. If, on the other hand your symptoms have subsided or completely gone and the size of the tonsil has diminished, you could probably wait.
It is important to remember that the enlargement of one tonsil may be a sign of an abscess and/or a sign that the infection is caused by an unusual bacterium such as one called Actinomycosis (not strep) or by a true fungus.
right after the encounter i develop a mild fever that nite but went back to normal the next day. had a mild Tooth abscess on 16/11 and completely recover within 3 days. Did a blood test on 19/11/12 and and came back igg+ for hsv1 and igg-hsv2. Had a mild sore throat/irritation on 24/11/12 and proceed to check on my throat and notice 3-5mm blisters/bumps/sores skin colored on tonsils and still having it now. Do you think its a new infection of HSV 2 of it is a recurrence of my HSV 1?
i am having a rear upper tooth extracted tomorrow - the pain will be slightly less than I have had over the last two weeks - this has been flaring up and down since February, but the last episode meant that I looked like I had a golf ball tucked in my cheek - my left nostril was numb, my head was too sore to brush my hair or touch, my neck hurt when I moved my head, my ear was crackling - the nhs dentist refused to drain the abscess but gave me antibiotics, these didnt work and I had another cou
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!
For quite a few years now, I have suffered with tailbone cysts, cysts between the legs (where my legs end and my buttocks begin), and also I have a long history of tonsil abcesses. The cysts come and go, and when they get irritating enough, I usually can burst them (like a pimple), and they go away for a month or two. I also have several fatty masses on my arms and chest. I had one removed from my arm, and it looked like a tiny bunch of grapes.
Are we talking about your tonsil here? This could be a tonsillitis, infected salivary gland, dental abscess. Usually things like this with an acute onset are infections. Yours could clear on its own or get worse. Its simply impossible to say otherwise what this is. Monitor this. If it gets to the point where you are unable to swallow or (god forbid) breathe, you need to get in and be seen.
I had seen lots of doctors and they couldn’t figure it out. This was a growth seemingly inside of the palatoglossal arch, above my right tonsil (NOT on my tonsil). It was completely covered by plain old soft palate tissue. It was very hard and mimicked the shape of the palatoglossal arch. A couple of weeks ago I went to see a specialist at the UW Hospital, there he told me that I likely had an abscess or cancer, and scheduled surgery. During my per-op screening today, a CT scan was taken.
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. I have tried allergy meds- currently given nasonex for it and I find it only masks symptoms (I.e dries me out) and doesn't make the pain go away 100%.
My arrhythmia started 17 years ago after a severe tonsil abscess that landed me in the hospital for 5 days on intravenous antibiotics. The abscess was due to a strep infection.
I have my suspicion that the bacteria might have screwed up my electrical system. My cardiologist said that may be a possibility but it's not something that can be confirmed.
I wish you well and I hope these pvc's subside for you.
You may or may not develop quinsy as it depends on the severity of your infection and your immunity.
Recurrent tonsillitis is an indication for tonsillectomy, as the tonsils may harbor the infection which keeps flaring up, or they may develop new infections. Quinsy, is peritonsillar abscess, that is there is pus collection around the tonsils. This is an emergency and needs to be treated with IV antibiotics. Sometimes it warrants incision and drainage of the abscess.
I have white bumps on my left tonsil only. someone told me it could be tonsil stones and you can pick them off with a cutip. i have been doing this for 2 months but they are coming back everyday now. also when i push on my tonsil with the cutip its almost like long strings of thick pus. my throat isnt sore at all, it just feels like i have a hair their or something and it has been making me vomit. When i remove one of the bumps i can see up insde the tonsil....what is this...
I noticed a bean shaped depression on my left tonsil. The tissue surrounding the depression is whiter than the rest of the tonsil. It's strange because I haven't noticed it before and it's only one spot on the left tonsil. You can see some small veins where the depression is. The left tonsil is also slight larger than the right one. None of the pictures I've seen online look like this. I'm worried. Is it normal? What could this be?
I was on an extended Cipro treatment about 17 years ago when I had an intestinal infection, then again a year later for a tonsil abscess. After these events my heart arrhythmia started. I did not have one palpitation while having a very difficult birth 2 years prior to these illnesses, nor at any other time before that in my life. Then after the infections and the Cipro (along with other antibiotics) my heart started to palp.
Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area.
I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
I have had a white spot on my one tonsil for about two years, and now I have another white spot on the other tonsil. Then on one of my tonsils I have a slightly yellow colored spot that looks more like a growth. The tonsil that has the yellow growth and a white spot is quite a bit larger than my other tonsil. My doctor has told me I have cryptic tonsils but I am concerned abou these spots, I would appreciate any information about these spots and what is recommended to treat them.
Lately I have been very very tired. When I swallow, on the left side of my throat, it feels sore and there appear to be blue spots on the outside of my neck. It is also sore to the touch. I am thinking it may have something to do with my thyroid. I was on antibiotics a couple of weeks ago because I had a throat infection and even though most of the soreness from the infection did go away, I still have the pain on the left side.
The next day, I noticed white stuff on a few areas of the tonsil. Over the next couple of days it kept getting worse, and even my right tonsil was covered in the white stuff, so I went to the doctor. She did a strep test which came back negative. I guess she didn't know what it was and she gave me an antibiotic. The antibiotic took care of it.
Yesterday, I noticed my left tonsil was swollen again and now the white spots are reforming. Once again, there is no pain.
