Avatar f tn 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. It is also an indication for tonsillectomy. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

Avatar f tn Naturally I thought it was tonsillitis ( I had the infection before 4 years ago and that time it developed into quinsy. ) Was given Penicillin V for 10 days. I finished the course but the infection wasn't cleared and after a week was given another 10 day course. By day 8 I had lost my remaining capsules to finish the course but was told by a nurse I didn't need it since all was normal. Two days later my infection got worse.

Avatar m tn So I called a doc and they told me that i can make a schedule after 3 weeks as I have a quinsy. I had a whitish tonsil even before but did get symptoms shortly few hours later after my oral escapade (so from wednesday eve to thursday). I have white tonsil, orange-redish throat and ulcers on the back of my tongue. On penis i do not see any symptoms well maybe except it being a bit red but honestly that could be from irritation.
Avatar n tn I recently recovered from a bout of Quinsy/very swollen throat/tonsilitus and was proscribed antibiotics which gave me oral thrush as a side effect. Since all other symptoms have disappeared I still have raised lumps at the back of my tongue and I can feel them going down my throat a little. They are the same colour as my tongue or a little paler and of varying sizes. Should I be worried? I'm not sure what these are!
Avatar f tn Don't panic yet, it can be hard to see well so early on. If the due date is not totally accurate you could be even earlier on than you think.
Avatar m tn But 4 weeks after exposure I got a very severe cold fever and quinsy with pain in stomach and many many symptom. All symptom went after 5days.

1720100 tn?1309235532 i had to pester him to send me for an xray then he got it wrong again and told me i had a cold when i had a quinsy (a lump that keeps growing in the back of your throat till you cant breath, swallow or talk then it kills you coz you choke in your sleep ).a simple syringe and antibiotics cured that,but it was close to closing my throat up. So to sum up dr's dont always know whats best, you can always insist that they check futher with more tests.
Avatar n tn Although the antibiotics may kill the bacteria that is causing the abscess, if the core of the abscess does not come to the surface or is not removed by the doctor or the nurse, the abscess will continue to fester. Apply a hot compress to draw the abscess to the surface. If there is no broken skin on the abscess, you can purchase magnesium sulphate from the pharmacy and apply this to the abscess. This is a drawing ointment and can only be used on unbroken skin.
Avatar m tn While I was on interferon therapy and my resistance was low, I developed an abscess on my buttock that was drained and healed. For several months now I have had pain that feels deeper in the tissue, possibly in the ischeum. It has never come to a point and there is no drainage that I can detect. I cannot see any external signs of swelling or redness. Have not been feverish recently. Could this be an ischiorectal abscess or possibly pudental nerve pain?
Avatar f tn My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.

Avatar m tn Dear Guys, I developed abscess three times with in two weeks interval in my groin area.....the last two were big and required surgery with full ansthesia. My doc therefore suggested to escape the shot at least for one week so i did not take the shot last week. I continued to take it again but I developed another abscess on the preannal position. I am afraid it will force me to discontinue the therapy. Has any one exprienced such problem during therapy?
