I am fighting a deep tonsil/throat infection. I have been sick on and off since the beginning of February with sore throats, fever, and ear aches/infections. Last week I went to the doctor for the 4th time since February because my tonsils were so swollen, my throat was raw, and I had a huge lump on the side of my neck. My doctor said I have a deep infection in my tonsils and that I need to see an Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT) doctor to possibly have my tonsils removed. My doctor put me on antibiotics for 5 weeks (I’m on week 2 of my antibiotics now). My tonsils are still swollen and I still have a lump on my neck. The big problem is that I can’t get in to the ENT until the beginning of July. My huge tonsils and lump on my neck are a pain, and I don’t feel 100 %. Last night I had a low-grade fever (99.5), and my throat was so sore yesterday. My question is this: what can I do until July to improve my health? I’m a teacher, so I need to feel healthy and have energy. Any suggestions?

I have some tonsil stones and I would like to remove them. I can see them in the back of my throat… but I wanted to see if anyone out there has had experiences with them and if they have gotten them out themselves. I’ve had some come out on their own but ya know, I’d like to get them out sooner if I can.

I am a 25 year old male. I had my tonsils removed and a septoplasty about a month ago. Salty foods like bacon and cheese taste different now. Sweet foods like candy and ice cream taste the same. My doctor told me it was not related, but I have to dis-agree. Has anyone else experinced this?
