Avatar f tn Sorry for the long post but I really need help with this. Thank you. Have been dealing with a tonsil infection for a month and a half that keeps coming back despite 5 courses of antibiotics. In June my tonsils were covered in puss- it was painful and I developed a fever. 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.
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!
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 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 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 m tn Hi everyone, So 6 days after having unprotected oral sex with a male, (I am a male as well), I began to develop a bit of a sore throat. This went away after a day or two but I still had some red inflammation near the back of mouth, (Around the uvula and tonsils). 3 weeks after sex, I noticed a few white tonsil stone type things on my tonsils. They were really tiny. They weren't painful but I was a little scared they could be an STD.
Avatar f tn Almost every medical website I have visited such as webmd, everyday health and patient info just to name a few all class dysphagia or difficulty swallowing as a symptom of having tonsil stones, yet a few other websites I visited said it is rare for tonsil stones to cause problems swallowing. I’m not sure if my tonsils are swollen but they are very red and in pain some of the time and it is very difficult to swallow food all of the time, even when I gargle with saltwater.
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 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.
Avatar f tn Hi, You have a history of swollen left tonsil for 8 months now, with some fluctuation in size. Now the right tonsil too is beginning to get enlarged. This is not how a typical story of cancer of the tonsil unfolds. I would not worry about cancer just yet. Please get the opinion of an ENT surgeon, get a tonsillar swab for culture and sensitivity, do daily warm saline gargles, and take a course of appropriate antibiotics.
Avatar f tn As there is tenderness, it could be an infection which is causing the asymmetrical enlargement of the tonsil. Sometimes persistent enlargement of the tonsil can sometimes be due to a lymphoma. It would be worthwhile to see if other lymph groups are enlarged namely, axilla and groin, these can be palpated, the others like those in the chest or abdomen may need a CT to detect their enlargement. Sometimes the tonsil may be removed for histopathological study.
Avatar n tn About a month ago, I woke up and my left tonsil was swollen and red and hurt a little bit when I would swallow hard, otherwise there was no pain. 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.
3181487 tn?1344542098 .I have had a swollen right tonsil and lymphnode under my chin for years now. It usually doesnt hurt, but sometimes swells even more and gets white bumps on it. Ive always been given antibiotics which with help the white bumps but the right tonsil always remains huge in comparison to the left. I was just finally referred to a ENT. Ive read alot about this being associated with cancer and its scary. Anyone have any insight on why one tonsil would always be huge? .
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!
