Swollen tonsils allergies
Common Questions and Answers about Swollen tonsils allergies
swollen
Hi there,
I just finished reading your comments. I see that you recently joined Med help. Welcome to the allergy forum. Have you been to see your family doctor? If you haven't been to see your doctor, I would suggest making an appointment so your doctor can look at your throat, tonsils, ears etc and give you some suggestions and possible next steps. If your tonsil is swollen it's swollen for a reason and you need to see a doctor if you haven't already.
I wish you well.
its allergy season, i live in nevada (if that matters), my throat is sore, and my tonsils are swollen (the left is way bigger). is it allergies? ive never had any allergies before (im only allergic to nickle). do i need to see a doctor? theres no white stuff or bad breath or anything, just sore and swollen.
ve been gargling and wiping down the tonsils. Do I need an antibiotic? My tonsils became really super swollen and painful a couple of months ago (when I was in a different but very stressful situation) but tests came back negative for mono, strep, etc. I did an antibiotic series at the time and they were still swollen but went down a few days later.
Went to student health again, was prescribed benzonatate and Claritin. Now week 4, I have a wet cough, stuffy/runny nose, swollen tonsils, coughing enough to vomit a couple times a night.
Why am I not getting better / should I go back to the doctor?
When it comes to getting rest I'm doing the best I can, but I am getting average sleep that my body is use to, sometimes even more.
Is that not any indication anti-acids are not working or solving my Dysphagia and swollen tonsils!? I was on Zegerid and probiotics(still taking them) for 3 months prior to September and still had the swollen tonsils. I cannot swallow properly, I snore so loud I wake myself up along with the household, I am always gagging and choking on my own saliva, constant allergies and post nasal drip...What does this have to do with GERD?
My 3 year old nephew is in exactly the same boat. His tonsils are swollen to the point where they look abnormal (round lumps almost) and he snores unbelievably loud.
He`s had a course of antibiotics which did no good but the doctor seemed pretty unconcerned, saying its an infection and says just to monitor him and keep an eye on him.
What he did say is that at 3 years old it`s virtually always non serious. Try to relax, it`ll come good.
My 6 year old daughter has chronic sinus congestion and drainage, ear stuffiness with it being hard to hear sometimes, chronic feeling of something bothering her throat and she says it is hard to breathe in her throat. The pediatrician has said her symptoms are from allergies so she has been on Zyrtec and Flonase for awhile now. That has helped in the past but for the last 4-5 months she is complaining of these symptoms even when she does not have a cold.
Sometimes it really bothers me. Sometimes it goes away. Sometimes my throat feels swollen or like there is a lump in my throat. Should I be concerned? Could this be allergies?
hi, i've read a few of the post's, and that's all I had to read to see that most of you are suffering from the same thing I am. when I swell up I get very angry, not at family, friends, or myself etc., but at the pain, what makes it worst is when people don't understand you or believe you and you don't want to get mad at them so you hold it in. I first swelled up randomly if I remember at age 17. My hands were swollen as well as my ankles and the bottom of my feet.
My daughter is three years old and she has had swollen tonsils for about two months now. The Dr. doesn't know why. She says that she needs her tonsils out. But all she has tried is steroids and allergy meds. Steroids brought the swelling down a little but as soon as she was done with them they went back. It worries me because she is having problems breathing at night sometimes. Some nights are worse then others. I dont know why she hasn't tried antibiotics.
its helped alot but now i have this hard dry feeling back by my tonsils. my tongue is still a little bit puffy. i was thinking its because of the post nasal drip. but i was curious what you guys thought.
Id like to just bring my tounge back to normal and go on.
now a month back i found that my tonsils are swollen and producing yellow pieces.i used to get these bad smelling pieces coming to mouth and in my neck i have two swollen arteries going to them.but these tonsils are not at all causing me any kind of pain.
pls i can live like this.if there is someone who can help please help me.
i have done MRI of my brain and conformed nothing is wrong with my brain.
Last week on monday I felt light headed and dizzy ended up with a fever for 2 days. That thursday I felt I had strep, with the fever and sore throat seeming so familiar; I went to my Dr. To check it out. No strep, but the next day my uvula swelled up so bad I felt I couldn't breathe. Spent the whole day gargling salt, eating garlic clothes, spoons of honey and tumeric. Didn't sleep till 6 am Saturday when I couldn't stand being up anymore.
I have had swollen tonsils for 7 months now. The right side is bigger than the left. Every now and then they will get pus pockets in them. I also have two redish yellow spots on the roof of my mouth close to the back and a few of those spots on the back of my throat. My throat feels tight. Every now and then I will have a pain my throat or tonsils and a burning feeling. I also have ear pains. I have only had an actual sore throat twice since the swelling began.
for the past 6 months I have getting periodic sore throats. when this started I noticed that my left tonsil was more swollen than the right. ALWAYS (not only when I am sick) I tried to take a picture but it was hard to. . . anyway the left one is about 40% bigger maye 50% bigger than my right - it doesn't go over my airway at all really but its bothersome. its shaped like a normal tonsil but its almost has like a crevis in it . its inflamed and shaped like the top portion of a heart . . .
So recently i had oral sex with my partner and like a day later I developed a cough. I've been coughing for about a week but today I noticed that my tonsils are swollen and i noticed 1 white spot on one of my tonsils. I got tonsilitus (sorry don't know how to spell that) when i was 16 and ever since then when i get sick my tonsils are the first thing to act up. They swell up and they hurt. This time they don't hurt but they are swollen.
Okay, so here's the story. For the past month I've had swollen tonsils with white pieces of mucous or whatever and they tend to break off and they're not that great tasting. I've also had horrible breath and a slight sore throat. So i go to the doctor and he tells me it's strep so he gave me an antibiotic. I've known that it's not strep and the doctor was stupid.
Thursday morning I woke up to a sore/ scratchy throat. I figured it was from sleeping with my hair a little wet and having the fan on the night before and would go away later in the day. It never went away and continued. Friday was the same thing my throat felt to itchy and irritated I would keep coughing. Friday night it felt gross to swallow my saliva. Saturday it was the same thing so I looked in my mouth and noticed my tonsils were swollen.
ve gave oral sex to my boyfriend on the weekend and now I have really swollen tonsils and they have lots of puss spots which are extremely swollen and very painful. I went to the doctors and they gave me penicillin but said if it was an infection (I think) it wouldn't work. I have been taking paracetamol for pain and ibuprofen now which has helped a lot but not sure if the swelling is going down. I looked at them again and the puss spots seem to have gotten more white, what does this mean?
