I am able to get the deep ones with a cotton swab but not the really deep one. It feels like it wont come out so I just bought a water pick and am charging it now so I am wondering if it its going to work.

I had mine out november 20th and i am 20 year old healthy male. How come its still hard for me to swallow food(doesnt hurt just hard to get down) ? And how come i get so much mucus whenever i drink or eat something? Is this normal? When will i start to feel normal again? I want to feel better before chirstmas.

Here’s what happened to me: I got a rash on my forearms, which then spread to my legs, stomach, neck, and back. A couple of days later, my right arm swelled and was numb with pain, then a while after my ankles/legs became somewhat numb with my hamstrings and calves tightening up and I got shortness of breath and a tightened chest. I was originally given Biaxin, but I had an allergic reaction to that, so my Doc gave me Levaquin. I’ve been on Levaquin for 2 days, and it doesn’t seem to be improving my health. I looked at my tonsils and I see a couple of white dots on them, plus the tonsils are not round shaped but they have craters in them. Plus now I’m having headaches, my chest is tight, and my glands are swollen somewhat. My throat is not sore, but it’s starting to tighten up.I don’t think I got all of this from a spider bite. I’m thinking I may have strep or something similar…..please help! I’ve slept 9 hours in the last 3 1/2 days because of the numbness and pain.

I went to the doctors yesterday and i was diagnosed with having an infection in my tonsils. I was wondering if the following foods would worsen my condition because everything i eat hurts and these are the only foods that i can actually see myself eating.

Mashed potatoes
Chicken noodle soup, tomato soup,
yogurt
macaroni and cheese

p.s. which foods will heal my tonsils faster? cold foods or hot foods?

These things are nasty in every way possible! Everyone says you can get them out with Q tips pick them off, BUT HOW DO YOU DO THAT? I don’t even want to try because i might throw up or seriously injure myself! Plz help!

BTW: i do not want my tonsils removed though because i heard it hurts more than giving birth! )-:

I got my tonsils out and ice cream, water, ice, and popsicles are not good. Any other ideas

I have tonsil stones which usually come out when i flex the back of my mouth but i have one that wont come out its really irritating please help xo

I’ve had a very sore throat for the past two weeks. It seems to get worse in the evenings, presumably after a day of using my voice. I find it painful to swallow, but I have no other symptoms, no fever or headaches or anything else to suggest that it might be a cold or similar. Could it be tonsillitis? Though there are no white spots on my tonsils… And does anyone have any remedies for soothing my sore throat? I’ve tried everything over the counter, tea with honey, gargling with salt water…anything else?

My granddaughter has been on an apnea monitor since 4 months of age. Her most recent sleep study indicates Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. In otherwords, they say her tonsils are too big and need to be removed.

I am curious if other children who have had this surgery had any difficulties with the surgery and/or recovery because of their age?

I’ve got a tonsil infection – nothing unusual, I’m quite used to them and it doesn’t seem a particularly bad one so far! I can feel my adenoids are swollen as well. Now, the difference is (this is a little gross!) when I snort back the phlegm at the back of my nose and spit it out, it has a little blood in it. I think this is probably because I was snorting coke at the weekend – no lectures, please… But just wanted to be sure. Anyone any ideas, or should I take this to the doc’s if it carries on? Thanks
