I went to my doctor yesterday because of severe ear pains and sore throats for a good 6 days, and he told me I had both Strep Throat and Tonsillitis along with the whole fever sickness. But the thing is, he asked if I’ve been coughing and up until today I haven’t. Now I’ve been coughing left and right.

I did a bit of researching on the internet, and according to a website if I’m coughing with strep throat it may be viral rather than bacterial.

Does this mean that the medication my doctor gave me won’t work? Should I call up telling him about this new symptom or not?

I’ve always had the occasional tonsil stone come up and never thought much about them but lately I’ve been getting them far more frequently, I’ve brought up about 12 over the last two days and they are so gross. I’ve been tasting them at the back of my throat but I don’t think I’ve had bad breath (I really hope not anyway). I’m just wondering if anyone knows how long they take to form and if anyone has had their tonsils removed because of them?

I have to have tonsil surgery tomorrow and I want to know what happens before, during, and after the surgery

I am sick and have had a humungous tonsil stone on the back of my throat for a few days. It won’t go away and is making my breath stink really bad. I gag if I try and get it out and no matter how much I gargle it won’t go away. It is the biggest I have ever seen and is really gross. Any suggestions??

I am 15 years old.

Can someone please list the different symptoms between Tonsillitis? Mono? Strep Throat? and STD in mouth? I’m not sure what i have. The only symptom I have is that it hurts to swallow. I ask this becuase my throat started to hurt when i was swallowed food/drank a drink. Its not sore/swelling. I dont have a fever(anymore), Im not tired, There isnt any pus, but there is a redness in the back of my throat. I dont know what i have…. I’m scared it could be an STD in my throat. I made out with a girl, and gave her head….(yeah ima dumbass) An hour later my throat started to hurt. I didnt give her head for a long time, but i know all it takes is contact. I had a slight fever before i saw her but now its gone… can someone please help me. Thank you in advance
I am currently taking some antibiotics, but have not seen the doctor.

There are so many people out there with the tonsil stone condition, and I hear there’s a list of special chinese herbs and a specific diet that prevents them. Does anyone know the answer?

one of my g/f’s tonsils is noticably bigger than the other….the color is the same…. she can push on it like a pimple and small chunky pieces of pus looking stuff comes out

I really want to get my tonsils removed like immediately cuz they’re giving me loads of problems! BUT my netball competitions are near and I can’t afford to skip 1 week of school, so I’ll have to wait until my summer vacations which is during June where I can go for the surgery. Is it possible for me to get back for training and school like 3 days after the surgery?
