White patches on the tonsils are generally pus and can be caused by a number of things, such as tonsillitis, thrush, or mono. I'd recommend taking him in to see an MD. I've had my tonsils removed due to recurring tonsillitis and the sooner he can get on antibiotics if that's what it is, the sooner his pain and other symptoms will go away.
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.
My son is eight years old. He has just received his second positive, active EBV test in six months. He's very lethargic and not feeling well, and has a sore throat and headache. He also has low IgGs. He was born with low IgGs and if he had one more low he would've been severe combined. He had ENT infections every two weeks from birth to three as well as pneumonia and upper resp. infections.
Hi. I'm 25, black female, with a recurring swollen lymph node on my left side in the neck. I understand the heightened risk of HIV due to my stats. Been tested and I'm negative. My mother has lupus, and both osteo and rhumetoid arthritis. I was also tested for mono, and that was negative. I don't have my tonsils, and the swollen lymph node comes and goes, and is painful. I would say it comes around at least once a month from anywhere from 1 day to 4.
My body feels really weak and tired. Tonsils are swollen and painful and I have difficulty in swallowing food or drinking water. I took ibuprofen for easing the pain but it comes after the effect of medicine wears off. Before I got this, I have recurring tonsilitis and my left tonsil regularly produces pus which I just drain using cotton swab or my clean finger if I feel there is something in it.
Some one please I know it's long but can someone please tell me what's going on with my body I'm just so exhausted from everything, I just don't know anymore. Also, I apologize in advance for not so fun information and I am horrible at grammar(I have learning disorders). So, I'm 26 year old female. I started with strep June 22,2015. I was put on penicillin 3x for 10 days.
My friend James is sixteen years old and just had his tonsils removed. He's had terrible bouts of tonsillitis and strep throat for a while, and finally I sort of forced him to go through with his doctors' suggestions of a tonsillectomy. He had them removed this morning. He's actually laying in bed next to me as I type this. He can't talk and he's spiked a fever of 100 degrees. Is this bad? Is it normal to have a fever after an operation? I'm very worried.
In 2006 his tonsils about swollen shut and his neck lymph nodes were swollen around his neck like a spare tire - tonsils removed and nothing done about the neck lymph nodes. He's also had extreme fatigue for the last two years; we've had several episodes of being unable to wake him for @ 15 hours. He's had a decreased appetite and constipation for many months as well.
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?
I also have swollen gums. Maybe that may have something to do with it? what could this be? Should I take this seriously?
I am worried becuase I have a recurring sore throat. I do not have tonsils. I had them removed when I was 17. I went to the doctor and the strep test was negative. I was given 10 days of amoxicillin. It has been 1 week since I finished my antibiotics...
The top/back of my throat is beginnig to swell again. It is extremely dry! It is hard to swallow. The corners of my mouth are cracked/splitting. I am not that hungry, which is not good for a type 1 who needs to eat!

So i had strep thoat and finished taking my course of pencillin vk about a week ago, and my tonsils still havent gone down, and my lymphnodes are still swollen, admittedly i have been putting my finger in my throat to feel my tonsils and they are still pretty big, the white stuffs gone off them but they're still big. When can i expect them to go cause this is driving me nuts, also my tongue sometimes has a thin layer of whiteish colored stuff that brushes off, is this normal?
