Swollen tonsil earache

Common Questions and Answers about Swollen tonsil earache

swollen

Avatar m tn The right side is also pretty red but not swollen. Most of the pain feels like its coming from behind the tonsil, or way back of the tongue/throat, and i don´t have to be swallowing for it to hurt. Sometimes it just starts hurting, and it feels like it´s burning and stinging. Kind of the same feeling if you have an ulcer on your lip and something salty gets in it. This same sensation also occurs on the right side.
Avatar f tn In my opinion you are suffering from acute tonsillitis (left tonsil) and inflamed tonsil is creating a problem in left ear. Visit ENT doctor and get the proper antibiotic treatment and anti inflammatory alongwith painkiller. Do mouthwash three times a day.
Avatar m tn Right now the ulcer is gone and the earache as well, but the right tonsil is still bigger. Its color is normal and the size excluded, everything seems to be normal. I will keep on watching it though, and report back to the doctor if anything fishy comes up. I think (and hope!) that everything is fine! Thank you very much for your support doctor, cheers!
Avatar f tn Ive also had a earache and a headache that stayed with me for 2 days went away for one and is back again.
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 I've had the feeling of a popcorn kernel in what I thought was my tonsil, for over a year. No real pain most of the time, just extremely irritating and makes every swallow throughout the day noticeable and over exaggerated. Sometimes it becomes painful and feels as though there is something sharp, and have an earache and warmth but no fever. About three times it even felt like something was about to come out. I saw an ENT in the summer of 2016.
Avatar m tn Let me first say that I had a sore throat/stuffy nose about 2 weeks ago and took some Halls cough drops every 2 hours as directed for about a week. I had a mini canker sore on my lip but that went away and now i have another mini canker sore on my lip but that's not an issue. I believe these canker sores are from the cough drops. I'm pretty sure I read that these cough drops can cause the canker sores. My main issue is now I have this painful bump in the back of my throat/mouth/tongue.
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 5 days ago i had a medium sized polyp removed from the right side of my throat (just near to my tonsil), it was painful, but no more than i expected, and after 2 days, it started to feel like it was getting betetr. the pain was lessoning. im now on day 5 and its got alot worse, but almost like a different kind of pain. my tongue has swollen very slightly, and i have ear ache on the side where i had the operation. im taking the strongest dissolvable pain killers in the pharmacy.
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 f tn Had sex again with same person on December 22nd unprotected. On December 26 my left tonsil became swollen and was covered in white material. My left lymph node became swollen and I had an earache on the left side of course due to infection. I went to the Dr and tested negative for Strep and they have me some amoxicillin. Which I didn’t take because I don’t like antibiotics and they give me yeast infections.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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.
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.
