I’ve had tonsillitis for about over a month. For about a week or two I had some usual symptoms like sore throat and painful swallowing but they all went away. Now for the past week or two all I’ve had is this white patch on one of my tonsils, it doesn’t look like its gotten swollen or anything. I’ve tried lime juice but I don’t think it really helped. Is there anything else I can do? can it go away by itself? or should I just go see a doctor?

My sisters little boy had his tonsils and adenoids removed Friday, well since then he has been running fever, Last night he woke up screaming and crying and he was soaking wet, this just doesn’t sound normal to me. Is it normal to run fever this many days after the procedure? Whats your experiences?

ENT specialist an am getting further treatment but nothin has worked yet. ive had this for 1 and1/2 yrs .i clean my teeth well twice a day, floss, use a listerine mouthwash and chew gum regulary. i thought it was my teeth but it isnt. as i went to my dentist and my teeth n gums are fine. i often get this burning sensation in the back of my throat, but i dont eat any sugary sweets or drinks that usually cause this, so does any1 no what this is? the doc thought i was acid reflux so i wen on tablets once a day for 8 wks but it made no diiference. i also was on nasule droplets for 4 wks, as my doc thought it cud be to do with my sinuses, but also no differenc. i get these white things from the back of my throat, which i tink may be tonsil stones but my doc also says that no medication can actualy prevent these, and i dont get them regulary anyway and my doc says getting my tonsils removed will make no differnece. so plz can any1 help me? it causes bad breath ALL the time-its gettin me down
i went to my actually doctor and they had no idea so im at a specialst but its privite and it costs. ive said how much its bothering me but no1 seems to listen. they just say take these tablets and see if they work and then come back in 4 wks. but if they dont work, im stuck with the problem still, which they dont seem to understand. im starting reduce socially, and am not going out as much and i dont have many friends because i know i have bad breath. im starting to get depressed
no, i dont eat many spicy foods and have tried everything to prevent it, lke cutting out all the foods that can cause bad breath lke onion, garlic, coffee, alcohol etc. the doc says if it was my stomach, the acid reflux would have worked but they didnt make any difference. to make matters worse, im only 16, and its realy preventing me going out and having fun.
do allergies cause bad breath though? i hadnt thought of that so thanks. has any1 ever had these symptoms, i thought mine was just lke chronic bad breath

Are tonsil stones bad for you and they do go away by themselves?
Also, are there things i can do to get rid of them?

It seems that when I have acid pressure my right tonsils got a feeling of tension in it.

I don’t understand what is my condition if it’s either a tonsillitis or sore throat…….whew!So confused hey friends…..a.k.a. yahooo users please help me and also put their symptoms each of it!
is lozenges is good for tonsillitis?

is there a way to get rid of tonsil stones without a medical precedure?

Should I go see my doctor or my dentist for tonsil stones?

Question says it all.

By healthy I mean no icecreams and puddings and jellows etc… I want foods to actually substitute for meals.. so far I got

V8
Tapioka pudding
Kraft Dinner (not healthy, but its a meal)
cottage cheese
mashed potatoes

Any more ideas?

All the sites that are titled "strep throat vs tonsillitis" show me both have the same symptoms, all I want to know what the difference between the two are.

They are sooooo annoying mann i got one in my tonsil and its driving me crazy ,,, i cant even get it out with my tongue or i cant cough it up…. its wierd :S

If it differs by age im 15. THANKS!

I noticed that when I eat peanuts, these yucky tonsil stones re-appear more often

I have tonsil stones and I spend like half an hour every night trying to find them. I have a girlfriend and we kiss, and I’m ridiculously paranoid if she can taste them or not. So far she hasn’t said anything, but I think it might be because she doesn’t want to embarrass me.

So, have any of you kissed somebody with tonsil stones and can you taste it? Or do you have it and has somebody said they could taste it?

Oh and I suppose taste can also mean smell…

I’ve been getting sore throats almost every other month, but recently I’ve been feeling way worse. I have a soar throat, it hurts like hell to swallow, my tonsils are larger, the back of my throat is mainly red with white beginning to form around it, I feel like I have a nasty cold with a runny nose/stuffy nose, and this may sound a bit strange but the roof of my mouth feels all waxy. Could that possibly be puss? I think I may have tonsillitis. In the past, I have also had some breathing difficulty. I was tested for asthma, and I didn’t have it. Could this possibly come from inflamed tonsils?

i dont know if i have a tonsil infection but my tummy hurts when i drink and eat something and when i drink something my throat hrts,its hurting right now it feels dry! helpppp! i dont want to go to the doctor!

My daughter is 3 years old and had her tonsil, adenoid removed this morning. I would say this day is one of the most miserable day of our life. Constantly crying and takes a long time to get the pain medicine( capital codein) in her, and it wears off within 4 hours. She ate like 6 ice pops today and drinks, but so stuffy in her nose, and complains for the pain in her throat.
Any good advice?

This morning I coughed up my first tonsil stone while brushing the back of my tongue. At first I thought it was some sort of weird aftermath from the Hi-Chew candy I had been eating (A Japanese candy similar to Starbursts, but more soft and gummy in texture), but it was indeed a tonsil stone.

Should I be concerned? Am I in some sort of health trouble if I have a tonsil stone at the age of 20?
Please only reply if you even know what tonsil stones are.

how can i keep my tonsils and avoid exposing from other risks that will appear if i get my tonsil stones removed?

For the past few days I haven’t been feeling well, but since I dont have insurance I try my hardest to ignore it. So I found this in my research?

What are the symptoms of tonsillitis?
The following are the most common symptoms for tonsillitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

*swollen, red tonsils (often coated with a yellow, gray, or white membrane)
*blisters or painful ulcerated areas on the throat
*sudden onset sore throat
*pain with swallowing
*headache
*loss of appetite (dont have)
*malaise (dont have)
*chills
*fever (dont have)
*swollen and tender lymph nodes in the neck or jaw area

So I am hoping that SOMEONE out there can offer some advice to me as what I can do at home and save myself the huge bill going to the doctor without insurance.

Thanks in advance for any information!!!

I first coughed my first tonsil stone the day before yesterday. it was off white and smelled. i went to the doctor this morning and she only told me to gargle. I looked them up online and i didn’t find and home remedies and none of them work. i need a quick way to remove them because my friend told me my hair smelled like POO. how do i remove them fast and I prefer painless.
